And for those of you who aren't members of SMFS, Michael Bracken posted this link http://www.tonyamoore.com/blog/2010/03/26/call-for-submissions-short-story-anthology/ This anthology is called Girls with Guns and they're looking for short stories of 1000 to 7500 words with a May 31 deadline.

there was a series of horror anthologies called Shock Rock back in the 80/90s that featured rock and roll horror. THey were pretty good.
Thanks Sandra. I've just done a post about Cindi and yourself and have put a permanent link on my blog to both your sites, if that's ok.
Regards, David.
I've been noticing quite a few calls for stories with a rock and roll theme, Charles. And those books sound grand!
That's fine, David, and many thanks for the link-up!
I wouldn't mind a background check if I could have a copy. Might be interesting to read one.
Hey Sandra, we're up!
I'm afraid my background check would bore them to tears, Patti :-)
I've got a post and a link up, Cormac! So cool to share pages with you and so many of the folks who drop by here. Lots of Snoopy Dancing going on today!!
Sandra,
Absolutely, and it's such an honor to be with such esteemed company!
