Sale To Nature!

I sold my story, Steve Sepp, Tasty! Tasty! (story 128) to Nature! "Wait," you say, "Isn't that a science journal (Maybe the science journal)?" It is, but they leave a little room in the back for a flash-fiction piece. They've also published Arthur C. Clarke, Bruce Sterling and currently, my Twitter pal, Polenth Blake. As Bart Simpson might say, "I am so juzzed!"

I've got a sneaking suspicion that this qualifies as my third pro-sale as far as SFWA is concerned. If so, we may be hooking up soon.

As a bit of icing, I sent off 129 last week.

    Thanks, Amy!

    Julio, I think it's a lot easier to be published in a science journal when you're allowed to make stuff up.

    Elke, I ride the wave and miss most of it while trying not to drown.

    Congratulations on the sale! It's a great market to sell to.

    Not entirely sure I belong in the same sentence as Arthur C. Clarke though... ;)

    Thanks, Polenth! Of course you belong there. A few people don't know it yet, that's all. ;)
