Story Sales

I'd like to mention the three sales I made last week. Three professional sales in a week made me over excited. (Professional sales pay 5 US cents per word.)

I sold stories to Nature's Futures (guidelines are here), Kazka's At Year's End Anthology (guidelines are here). And to Alex Shvartsman's Unidentified Funny Objects anthology (no guidelines, because it's closed, but watch UFO space, there may be another anthology in the distant skies.) 


Alex has just released the table of contents, Mike Resnick! Lavie Tidhar! Ken Lui! Others!

    1. Thanks, Cate. I've got a feeling I'm never going to do three in a week again.
