Sale to Analog!

Published by Alastair under Writing

My short story “Light Conversation” has been accepted by Analog Science Fiction & Fact magazine! This is my first sale to Analog (or to any of the Big Three SF magazines, the other two being Asimov’s and Fantasy & Science Fiction). I’ve been reading Analog since I was a teenager, so I’m really excited by this sale. I don’t know what issue it will appear in, but given the usual lead time it will probably be sometime next summer. Of course I’ll announce it (in big letters! ;) ) when I find out specifics. It will likely be a “Probability Zero” story — it’s that kind of fun short — but of course that’s up to the editor.

    The Chara Talisman, the first full novel of T-Space, is now available in e-book and trade paperback from Amazon and some of the other usual places, with more coming. What if Indiana Jones had had a starship?

     

    The October 2011 issue of Analog features both my story "The Sock Problem" as the Probability Zero piece, and Brad Torgersen's "The Bullfrog Radio Astronomy Project". When Brad and I first met at one of Kris'n'Dean's workshops a couple of years ago (we'd met online prior), we joked about both being in the same issue of Analog one day. Two years later, here we are!
