sold: "Where Shadows Go at Low Midnight"

[realthog]

My short story "Where Shadows Go at Low Midnight" has sold to editor Mike Allen (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...

Um, there are lots of achievements in this world -- not least some of your own, ma'am -- that are far more deserving pf praise.

I dunno, did they?

Oh, and the Cliff Richard/Eurovision reference wrecked my evening -- it took at least an hour to get the jingle back out of my head.

Nice!

I'm happy for Mike too, that his beautiful anthologies are among front runners, and successful.
