Is This Thing On?
LJ's been down most of the day, it seems. Rumors on Facebook point to a DoS attack. Icky. Best to get in and out before something else goes wrong.
Got my print copy of the issue of Theaker's Quarterly Fiction containing my short story, A Fable of Worcester. I had actually downloaded it to my Kindle -- OK, Lea downloaded it to the Kindle -- but hadn't brought myself to read it in that fashion, yet. For all my general support of electronic media, I have to admit, I still don't favor it. I like a book in my hands.
And I have to say, this one didn't disappoint. I had posted Howard Watts' lovely cover the other day, but it's even better in real life. As Lulu print jobs go? This one's easily the best I've seen. Have only thumbed through the journal itself, but it looks great. And do you know how I knew this was a journal where I'd feel instantly at home? The back is filled with reviews of Doctor Who ephemera. What's not to like?
Between being published in another British fantasy/sci-fi journal (I've found my audience!) and a chat on FB with a friend about France, I find myself longing heavily for Europe again. I've been away for nearly 20 years. That's astounding, and terrible. Of course first, I need to pay automotive and doctor expenses. Sigh. One of these days, I need to work on being one of those writers who actually makes money.
Over in Radius, I waded into the Oprah Winfrey poetry discussion, and found the whole thing eerily familiar. Playing catch up today, so no new postings, but lots of great stuff on the way. (Roger Bonair-Agard? Jeanann Verlee? Laura Moran? Maybe ....)
