4/4/06: Confirmation that I exist

Word count: 20398 | Since last entry: 334

Received in the mail today: a copy of issue 31 of Albedo One, containing my Aeon-Award shortlisted story "I Hold My Father's Paws." They very kindly put my name first on the cover, although one of the other stories in the same issue was the one that won the award. I suspect I have editor Roelof Goudriaan, a friend from way back, to thank for this. You can order your own copy here: http://homepage.eircom.net/~albedo1/html/a1__magazine.html

Also, my Hugo-nominated story "Tk'tk'tk" is now available for all to read, for free, in its entirety, on the Asimov's web site: http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0604_5/tk.shtml

Aaaand... I'm almost done with the first draft of the novella. One or two more nights of writing should do it.

A snippet: "Supporting each other, we shuffled to the airlock -- the one that had been Epsilon sys lock before we'd torched it off and joined it to the growing assemblage of the crew lander. There we found, to our surprise, that we were already breathing Bianchon's atmosphere. The crude welded seam joining the lock to the hull had parted from the stress of the landing."
