Prodigal Journalist?

Yes. Both the journal and the photos are a year out of date, as is most of the content on this web site... But that's okay, because I actually plan to update my site now.

What, was that a snort of disbelief? Okay, well, I deserved that. I have not put anything new here for ages. But I actually have some news to share, and this seems like a good forum for it.

I sold "Run of the Fiery Horse" to Realms of Fantasy, a major pro market! I received the contract a few days ago and looked at it with awe. Really. It's been so long since I sold anything that I was beginning to think that I would never sell anything ever again. I had to keep rereading the e-mail that I received from Shawna McCarthy to make sure that it really happened. Now I have a contract to stare at. Still no word on when my story will appear in print, but they pay on acceptance so I can wait!

I got a "maybe" on a story that I sent to Would that it Were, pending revisions. If the maybe turns into a "yes", the update will appear here.

Is this site live yet? Well no. Only a few friends know that the sff.net page exists. I still have a bit of updating to do, and still have to clean up the code on a few pages that did not transfer easily from geocities. If you want to be notified when this site goes live, please join my notify list. Or you can just keep clicking on this page until you see new content. Your choice, really.

See you all next time,

Hmm
