CSI-La Fantasy

[j_cheney]

That's what david_de_beer calls my story "Touching the Dead" in his reivew posted: here. ::dimpling::

I guess reading all those books on forensics paid off...I just got a copy of Death's Acre...ooh, fun research time. ;o)

I think we've decided (as per the previous discussion)that 'Honorable Mention' is the same thing as 'Quarterfinalist', which does not mean top thirty-two. Good enough for me.

Off to the gym now. On day two of No Diet Coke. Headache. Bleh...

ETA: TNOD off to Brutarian. I've never subbed there before, but I thought it might fit.

Wow! What a great review!

Are you putting that one in your scrapbook? n.n

A friend of a friend worked on Death's Acre (the one in Tennessee, there are two), researching the effect of textiles, I think. He said that she said it didn't weird her out until one day she procrastinated checking her body, and had to get her day's stats at night. In the dark. With a flashlight.

She said walking through the woods with the flashlight flickering across the corpses was, in fact, freaky.

Nice review! And, yeah, took me a bit too but "Honorable Mention" is the new "Quarterfinalist," which is still a good thing. Not a win, but better than nuffin'.

heh, well the CSI was more a moment of irresistible cheekiness, but claim it as your own, it's all good!
Glad you liked the review.

Very cool! Computer scrapbooks are good. I keep such things in one and consider it such an "artifact." I pull it up during the dark times, which we all have. Glad things are going well for you. :)

I forgot to say, and I've been wanting to say this to someone. Over the last two years, I've sent three stories their way. Proper format and everything. Never heard back from them. They never answered my query letters ethier. I think I exist in a Brutarian blackhole or something. I've thought of subscribing, but I'm afraid it would never arrive in my mailbox. Oh well... lol

Whoo-hoo!

That is an awesome review.

And keep off the Diet Coke. If even half the horror stories about aspartame are true, that stuff is just evil.
