My story, H+, was accepted for the 3rd issue of Staffs & Starships Magazine.

I was so excited I had to post it here on the chrons. I've got about six other stories waiting to be polished. This has inspired me to jump on them this weekend.



This will be my first published story. I'll finally be able to write something on my cover letters.

nice one, KES! and also good to know that S&S is back in contention - it looks to have been in hibernation for a while.

Re: Published in Staffs & Starships Magazine

Thanks all

This weekend is off to a great start.

@Chopper: Yeah, it did seem that way. I think last year was really rough for them. But they seem to be doing better now. They're updating their page more often and both issue 3 and issue 4 are supposed to be out before the end of May.

Thanks again for all the congratulation messages. I guess this makes me part of that 1% of authors who get paid for their work

Congratulations! I've only registered today but I know what a tough business it is, especially in the financial melt-down. Well done
