Update from Yesterday.

Remember the post Flat from last night? Well, the book arrived today, and so did notification that the magazine is finally released (the story of mine that’s in there was accepted on 14th November 2010, but in fairness they did have problems with the Missouri floods earlier this year.) Anybody interested can find it here. It’s in the contract that I can’t post it to the stories blog for three months after publication, and I’m a man of my word so March it will be.

So, that’s two out of four. Maybe that flapping noise I can hear is the first stirrings of a fair wind rustling the mainsail. (I must stop using nautical references as though I know what I’m talking about. I’ve never seen a mainsail, although I have crewed in sailing whaler races off the coast of Devon, and also in a rowing regatta in the roads of Halifax harbour, Nova Scotia. Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? It wasn’t, really. I didn’t have a choice.)

Two down and two to go, then. I have a feeling that the e-mail will be a long time coming, and the visit from Dorothy and Dodo remains a faraway fantasy. We’ll see.
