Knight of Sorrows
My story "Knight of Sorrows" has been picked up by MindFlights magazine, the successor to The Sword Review.

The Sword Review also carried my stories "Owl and the Queen of Summer" and "Creed". I intended "Owl" to be a fantasy story set in the Neolithic era, but people kept calling it a "mythic fable"...so, there you go. It's a mythic fable. "Creed" has pirates. And numerous sword fights. Which is all any work of serious fiction needs, really.

And now it's cold, dark, and entirely too quiet, so I'm going back to bed.

Great news. :)

I'm curious: have you written anything in a voice that's similar to the tone of your LJ posts? Because I'd buy it.

Thanks!

I did write my contemporary-mystery novel in that same sort of sardonic tone, and my next big project is to edit that, and then hopefully sell it. Once that little task is done, I will unravel the mystery of cold fusion and transcend space/time.

I did recently write an sf story where the protagonist, a mining engineer, has to get a radiation shield back online during an attack, and she discovers that one of the junior technicians was watching badly encoded porn videos on shield computer, causing it to crash and taking the shield down. I'm not sure if that counts, but it's certainly true to life.

That made me laugh. I'm not sure what's funnier, the situation itself, or the commentary about it being true to life.
