... Let the Good Times Roll ...

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I spent the entire day, pretty much, jumping directly into the new IT role. (For those of you out there that aren't sure, IT=Information Technology--I got at least one question on it, so figured there might be a few more out there who didn't know). Very exciting, and all that. Who knows, someday maybe I'll understand exactly what I just signed myself up for. :) But as good as that was, the better news was that I got an e-mail from Robert Stephenson and Altair, and he's purchasing a story that Lyn Nichols and I wrote some time ago titled "The Colors of Pain." This pleases me for several reasons. First, of course, is that success doesn't stink. Second, this story is one that sold originally to Blood Muse, but was bounced when it was discovered that they bought way too many words. It's one that was also a lot of fun to write, and one in which the collaboration was really dialed in right from the start. I mean, everything she did made the story better in my mind, and (I think) the same could be said from her perspective. Of course, if Lyn says otherwise, I don't want to know. It's also one of my favorite stories. And, it's a gentle horror story, to boot . . . a field I find damnably difficult to write. So, I'm pleased. Now it's back to the salt mines.   Have a good one.
