That was a fun story! I can picture my dog talking exactly the same way. I wish he had a skull cap; at least he would listen, and fight crime. Thanks for the tip, now I have a new sight to bookmark.

And congrats on the sale!

Hey! YEAH! I’m so glad I tripped the sensors and got the story in! As Bull would say, “I LIKE THAT!!!”

Steve, I have to say I want to make a sound clip of you saying that. It’s come up on numerous occasions where something merits me saying “I LIKE THAT!” just like Bull and no one else gets it. Oh, geektiude.

Again, glad everyone got what they wanted and more here! Hooray for MRK!

And I just accepted the offer! Yay for the internet! Thank you both.

The story is “Chrysalis” from Aoife’s Kiss.

Agreed. And Chang, you might like to know that we’ve _just_ made an offer on a Mary Robinette Kowal story. You actually helped — seeing this blog post and your comment kicked my awareness up a notch and make me look ahead in my (still too far behind) submissions pile. The story she sent us was beautiful, and I certainly would’ve bought it eventually, but you made it happen faster.

That’s online life for ya. Hope you love it as much as I do.

That story is amazing! I actually listened to it while walking my dog and the author nailed the tone and speech of a dog. You know, if they could talk.

Escape Pod needs some Mary Robinette Kowal on it. Stat!
