 After all the hospital drama of the last 3 weeks, things are much, much better.  That's good in itself.  But the really good news is that I sold my story Bone Whisperer to Dark Distortions!  Yippee.

While Bone Whisperer isn't officially one of my Clarion West stories I still consider it a product of Clarion West.  My littermate Ernie read it during that 6 weeks, and Jim Kelly and John Kessel agreed to read it during their week with us and gave me some great notes.  I think my littermate Deb Taber also read it not long after Clarion.

Anyway, bottom line is I've sold another story.  Line edits don't begin until next month.  And I don't actually get a contract until after the edits.  Editors want to make sure they can work with you before the legally commit to your story I guess.  But hey, I'm from television.  I'm used to rewriting on demand.

So - Happy Snoopy Dance going on at my house.
