I'm so stunned I can hardly believe it myself, but I seem to have just sold my brand-new SF short story "Observations from the City of Angels" to Salon—just a day after finishing up the final draft. The only other person I'm aware of to sell original fiction to Salon is the redoubtable Cory Doctorow, whose stories "0wnz0red" and "Liberation Spectrum" both appeared there within the past year. (There may very well be others, but it sure as hell ain't common.) Raise a glass with me in celebration, and tune in soon to find out when "Observations" will run.
