Flying Island Press has chosen my short story for their first issue. As this is the first time I’ve ever been paid for my fiction, it’s a big day for me. Here’s the press release from Flying Island:

Enjoy Your Sci-fi and Fantasy How and Where You Want

Beginning July 4th, science fiction and fantasy fans will be given a
new place where they can discover authors and stories they’ll be able
to enjoy wherever they go. Flagship, the new e-zine by publisher
Flying Island Press, will soon be releasing short stories every other
month in formats for the Kindle, the iPad and iPhone, and other
electronic readers.

It’s not often that I cross the radar of a NYT bestselling author. But at Balticon last week, I had a chance to meet the new steampunk star, Gail Carriger, and sit on a panel about YA books with her. Later, she blogged about it, calling C4C “genius”, and embedded C4C Episode 1 on her post. How cool is that?
