Like Trey, I got a rejection from Fantastic Stories this weekend, for my story "Snowflakes". That mother's been rejected a cool dozen times now, and I'm not sure there are any pro markets left to send it too. Which is kind of a damned shame, since it's one of my favorite stories. Ah well...probably time to start hitting the semi-pro markets with it.

Still, I've got 9 stories out, and I'm pleased to be working with Mike Jasper on a collaborative story entitled "The Shadow Wolf", about Native Americans, Kazakhstan, and gen-engineered supergerms. We're taking turns writing scenes, and we've already got the first two down. We've outlined roughly, but neither of us is exactly sure how it's going to end (which is probably a good thing). Anyway, so far it's been a lot of fun, and I think it's going to turn out to be a great story.
