Getting late here in Central Europe, but I’ve got some news before I head off to bed: I sold another short story to Daily Science Fiction today, “The Magician of Words.” It’s an odd little piece, to my way of thinking more like a prose poem than a story proper, but then, the other story I sold to them was based on a poem, so maybe it’s a pattern.
Yseult is doing quite well on its final free promotion, although it doesn’t look like it’s going to break into the top 100 Free Kindle Store overall this time. The best I saw earlier today (before the Amazon US glitch that disappeared all the buy buttons and the rankings for about an hour) was #136. It was also #1 in Arthurian Fantasy, #2 in Historical Fantasy, and #7 in Fantasy overall. It’s still #1 in Arthurian Fantasy, but it’s dropped in all the other rankings, and it’s only free for a few more hours. Ce la vie. Hopefully this will get me a few more sales anyway. 🙂
Congratulations on placing your prose poem/story. Please let know when it’s published as I would love to read it. Sleep well.

Thanks, Karen! I’ll post the publication date once I know when it will be.
Congratulations Ruth. I’ll try and get to read it when I have some free time.

Thanks, Mak! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
WTG on your sale … they’ve turned me down a couple of times, but I’m a stubborn sort!
You have to be in this business! Good luck. 🙂
Hi Ruth,
I own a Kobo instead of a Kindle, so I look forward to seeing “Yseult” on Smashwords. Nancy Fulda recommended your writing to me, and I can’t wait to take a look!
Christina, you can always download Kindle for your computer and read it there.
Mak
Thanks, Christina! I’m hoping to get Yseult up on Smashwords the beginning of April.
