sold: "Where Shadows Go at Low Midnight"


My short story "Where Shadows Go at Low Midnight" has sold to editor Mike Allen (
[info]time_shark) for Clockwork Phoenix #3. It's essentially a far-future fantasy, with links (although these won't affect most readers) to my 1992 novel The World and its prequel: it's a vignette of one of the World's possible futures.

Obviously I'm delighted: Clockwork Phoenix has got to be among the very front runners of current anthology series, and I'm immensely honoured to be included a second time. (My story "All the Little Gods We Are" was in CP#1.)

Congratulations! With the competition this year (I think he sorted through something like 300 stories), that is a HUGE accomplishment!

I look forward to reading it.

Actually, it was more like 700...

"700"?!?! Wow.
