Mary –

Congratulations! That’s fantastic!

I’ll be intrigued to see how the story changed from the workshop. It will be a good example for newbies like me in the art of revision.

Well done!

John is good to me also. I mean, he introduced me to your work,
E. Bear, Corey and Charlie, not to mention blue sheep and brain pals.
I had to add bookshelves because of him, which is not a bad thing

Tangent time. I was amused that your system put a picture of
a sailor by my first post as I’m retired USN.

Congrats again, more good things to come.

Slid on over from Whatever as John has posted a link due to your good news.

If you haven’t gone “SQEEEEEEE” enough, let me add to it. You’re entitled.

This is very cool. I’ve read Asimov’s since the 80′s and feel that only the best show up there.
Guess what group you’re in now? 8D

Congrats

Thank you! Though it is utterly silly, breaking into one of the big three was the milestone for when I’d think of myself as a “real” writer.
