I'm pleased to announce that I sold story "Moonlight on the Carpet" to Aeon Speculative Fiction. This story was written at the Two Beers And A Story Challenge at the Worldcon in Boston.

I've been writing about as often as I've been blogging, alas. I did write 500 words at the coffee shop last night, but they don't quite fit where they are and I'm going to have to either cut them or rearrange the chapter to fit.

Perhaps I'll write a bit on the plane today. Yes, I'm traveling again -- off to Denver for the annual gay square dance convention. Cab's here!

Denver? Denver? Not Madison?

Well, I suppose we see you reasonably often as it is, and it's not as though you'd be wearing a giant chicken suit this year... have a good time. Sniff.

Alas, Wiscon and the gay square dance Worldcon conflicted this year and we chose Denver. Kate made me promise not to stop whining about it. Tell the gang I said hi!

Well, at least you'll be having fun -- a different kind of fun, in a different place, but still fun. Of a sort. Which is okay if you like that sort of thing (and not that there's anything wrong with that).

Congratulations, sir! I know you'd been sweating the rejections slips recently so this news must (and should) feel good.

Isn't it funny how the stories that one writes on a whim or a "dare" (as TBaaS sounds) often turn out to be pretty good?
