Still over the moon about the Skipp anthology. But that doesn’t mean that I’m slacking. I threw down the gauntlet and issued a challenge to a few friends on Monday. Each one of us made it into an e-book, and that is pretty cool. Getting into an antho is always fun, but crashing the party [...]

‘Cept I can’t announce it to you until tomorrow. It’s about that lovely, lovely short story sale that I hinted about earlier. I was thinking that I had to keep my trap shut until, oh, I don’t know…May or so, but no! I can tell it to you tomorrow! But I won’t, because we have [...]
