Nice!!! Congrats. Where is the best place to pick up a copy?
ReplyDeleteFor you, Dusel, as a good friend of many years, I've already got one saved for ya. Just waitin' for them to come in.
DeleteCongratulations again!! This is a well deserved victory for such good writer as yourself. I look forward to reading this story!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. I've just been told by 36 people today that they wanted a copy, so I'm going to order another batch of 40 today or tomorrow, and I'll be very happy to send you one of those. You've been a supportive friend recently. Won't forget it!
DeleteThat is awesome you have so many requests! I'd like to add for anyone else interested they can find a copy at Barnes N Noble. I see the magazine sold there all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Barnes and Noble has that in your neck of the woods! The one here doesn't carry it. That's cool to know.
DeleteHey, everyone! Ask your local bookstore if they carry it. Thanks!
It's so lovely to share in the excitement of a story appearing in a prrestigious magazine. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rosanne! I appreciate the congratulations!
DeleteCongratulations, Steven. I won't trouble you for the mag, as I'm in UK. But It's always good to share good news with other writers. All the best for the future.
ReplyDeleteStuart, no problem at all for me. How much would it cost in postage anyway to ship one magazine across The Pond? And thanks for the congrats. I'm working hard to finish and send out other stories so that I don't turn into a one-trick pony.
DeleteCongrats! Glad to see it, looking forward to reading - glad to connect with you on LINKEDIN, :)
ReplyDeleteGood to connect with you, too, Roxie. And thanks for the congrats! Hey, everyone--Roxie's blog is an awesome site for newbie writers. Her latest entry has the submission needs for my very own Space and Time Magazine. Though that's just created more competition for me, it's still a cool site! :-) Seriously, it's a very informative site, which is why I'm unabashedly advertising for it!
DeleteCongratulations on the story. I've never heard of the magazine which really doesn't mean much since there are many things I haven't heard of.

Thanks for the congrats, Arlee. It's a cool little mag. If you'd like, check it out at www.spaceandtimemagazine.com, and click on the skeleton-lounging, mushroom cloud magazine cover. Mine is the fourth story down.
DeleteAnd if I considered all of the things I didn't know, and would never know, I would worry about the use of me even getting out of bed every morning!
All riiiiight! Congrats, Steven - now I can go to the newstand guys and bug them for a reason. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my crappy library reserved a copy of "Weekends at Bellevue" for me. Fantastic!
Thanks, Namzola! (Everyone, she has a witty, funny blog, with allusions to literary and cultural references, and issues of palm-to-the-forehead parent survival, so check it out.) Bug those newsstand guys and read Dr. Holland's book!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of my story, and of Weekends! And thanks again for the congrats!!!
