June 1st = Good Day

Yay! My story "Touching the Dead" is up in the newest issue of Baen's Universe. The story is available here. If you don't have a subscription, you can buy a single issue on-line for $6 or a subscription for $30. Very nice!

My short short "First Day Jitters" is also up now in Between Kisses. It's placed underneath an ad for Starbridge so you have to scroll down a bit to find it: Here Written with a younger audience in mind, it does not include a single dead body. Not a one.

I also got my new saber in the mail today. Shiny!


The saber's the one that looks like a saber.

You make it sound like you're about to make up for the lack of dead bodies with your new saber :)

Congrats on the publications!

It's been a good day. Tomorrow I'll be worrying again, but today is shiny. ;o)

I am suffering from severe sword lust at present.

The short short is essentially a 1000 word pun. Don't take it too seriously. ;o)

These are sport swords, for competition fencing. Probably not worth much in SCA terms...And the foil is really beat up...
