The voices in my head don't think they're imaginary - Writing Update

Apology

OK, so I have to admit my own ugliness. My intent was to make you all jealous with that last post, and from the comments I received, it seems I succeeded. By the light of a new day, I feel awful about it. Me having a pound of fresh juicy delicious morels (that I sauteed in butter and garlic) and bragging about it was just mean. I am terribly, terribly sorry.

Writing News

I haven't posted any writing news lately, but there have been a few things popping here and there, as follows:

• I sold another story to Realms of Fantasy. It's called "The People's Republic of the Edelweiss Village Putt-Putt Golf Course." You might not guess it from the title, but it's a bit silly. And it does have putt putt golf. This makes three in a row I've sold to RoF, and I'm absolutely tickled pink about it.

• Speaking of Realms of Fantasy, the June issue contains my story "The Hotel Astarte." This story has been getting some terrific buzz, thanks in no small part to the generous comments of the Slushmaster, Douglas Cohen. There's also a discussion thread for the story here.

• I fully intend to take part in the International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch day on April 23, and will be reprinting something here. What, you might ask? Well, if anyone has a preference, please let me know. My bibliography is here. Much of my stuff is already online, but there are a few things that haven't ever seen the light of the CRT. For a preference, I'd like to put up "Domovoi", which appeared in F&SF in 2005, but I'll have to pull out my contract and see if that's kosher.

• Finally, speaking of F&SF, I received word that my story "PowerSuit" will see print in the July issue. This is my second story to appear in F&SF, and it's another humorous corporate intrigue, along the lines of my SCI FICTION story Hell Notes.

Well, that's it for now. Thank you all for coming. Please stack your chairs in the corner before you go.
