I wrote awhile back that one of my short stories, "Grocery Purgatory", was bought and would be published soon. Sadly, the publisher suffered a death in the family, and the story was put, shall we say, into purgatory for awhile. With smaller publications, it's not uncommon for something to knock the whole operation off the rails, and it takes some time to recover from that.
I waited until after the holidays to inquire on it, and was told that "Grocery Purgatory" is now coming out in March, in their print publication "The Fifth Di ...". So it's still going to be out there, just a bit later than anticipated.
