Happy Dance Time!

Just sold a short story, "A Borrowed Heart," to F & SF. This is wonderful for a bunch of reasons. I don't write a lot of short fiction, so I try to make every one the best I can. This was one of those "hit the ground running" stories where the voice was so clear, it practically wrote itself. I had such fun writing about a succubus and a courtesan. And a few other characters less readily classifiable.

Private gloating: This was the first market I sent the story to. I've now sold stories to every editor of F & SF since Ed Ferman.

Great news, Deborah! Do you have an issue number for its appearance yet?

No pub date yet. Depending on what Gordon has in stock, it could be a while. Or not. I'll get to do another happy dance when I know.
