That story I had with Beneath Ceaseless Skies for months on end? Those months weren't in vain. Well, actually, they were for a bit. The story got lost in the shuffle. But, when it got found again - accepted! First pro sale!

One of my earlier stories, "In Service of a Greater Cause," originally published by Schrodinger's Mouse magazine in early 2011, will appear on the Smoke & Mirrors podcast (date pending).

I'm very excited as this should (depending on their production schedule) be my very first podcast. There are two or three more possibly on the horizon, but this is the first one confirmed and likely the first to become available.

New story sale: "Seven Conversations in Locked Rooms" to The Memory Eater anthology.

And if you're wondering why I'm announcing this sale half a year after The Memory Eater closed to submissions, read my blog post
