I do believe I'm about to be published again...

...and it's the story I've had out there the longest (I wrote it over two years ago). It's a weird thing, a fantasy story where the magic is based on some things I've read in Brian Greene's books about string theory. Of couse since it's not a modern-setting fantasy, the characters have no idea that what they're doing is based on string theory. I was beginning to think the thing was unpublishable (and had in fact taken it off my board of submissions in my office). But it was a WOTF quarter-finalist, and was the source of the coolest rejection note I've gotten yet, so it must be weird in a good way.

I'm still awaiting the final word, but when I know, you'll know.
