The Winter 2004 issue of Storyteller, with my story "The Ice Queen" featured on the cover is now out and available—in Canada. This fine magazine is one of Canada's premier fiction magazines, and it's a great honor to have my work featured like this. Grab a copy while you're north of the border scoring your prescription drugs! (For a short time, an excerpt from "The Ice Queen" is available online.)
