Oh, Yay!

My Retinitis Pigmentosa story at Baen's is going to the second level!

OK, THIS IS NOT A SALE, but it's a chance at one, for which I'm very grateful. Thanks to all the people and editors who suggested edits along the line and to mmerriam who answered some strange RP questions for me. Now it goes into a slightly smaller pond with the hand-picked fish--some large fish and some small.

Also, congratulations to Simon Horvat and Nick Wolven, who got thrown into the much smaller (and therefore better chances)"Introducing" pond. Good luck GuYS!

ETA: The Title of the story is actually "Afterimage" (although I really wanted to use "Peristence of Vision"), Retinitis Pigmentosa is a degenerative disease of the retinas which usually leads to blindness, and the story concerns a cop with implants who is trying to solve a crime, but whose implants die part way through the investigation. See implant pic under the cut:



This is one of several types of implants being considered for RP patients...as you can see, it's actually a little receiver/comp implanted inside the eyeball. Cool concept.
