Fingers Crossed....
Jul. 21st, 2006 01:02 pmWell, my story at Baen appears to be running toward second base, where I understand it will be for a long time. I'm supposed to send an RTF to the editor, and from there it will go into a slush pile of eager stories all hoping for that "Introducing" slot they have in every issue.
We've discussed the name of the story, which is now "Touching the Dead" (because the main character can draw memories out of a corpse), but a couple of the people on the board suggested that title sounds like it might be a horror story rather than fantasy. I think I'm going to re-name it "The Discerning Touch" instead, which also gets a feel of the story, but doesn't sound so horror-ish. (There, Melissa, not so dark.)
