DSF Contract Received, Sent Back for The Seven

The beat goes on. A quickie this time, it took more than a month but the contract has come from DAILY SCIENCE FICTION for “The Seven” (see July 25), my “latest” take on “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Or maybe not that, maybe a more metafictional look about how folk tales and other stories come about in the first place. Or still maybe not — the dwarfs themselves don’t have time for much speculation of that sort.

In any event one may find out more about the dwarfs in this one than Snow White (which wasn’t her real name, or so the dwarfs say). Or more to the point, an hour or two later this afternoon I sent back the contract with my okay, plus a bio-note and some words on the story, more about which will be here when it happens.
