NO DOMINION

Well, I’ve just sent NO DOMINION and a bunch of Walker Papers short stories as a submission package to my editor at Luna. I have absolutely no idea if they’ll accept it, and will have no hard feelings if not–Luna does not, as a matter of course, publish short story collections–but I’m willing to give it a shot. And if they do not, please do not fear: I will find some other way to make the stories available to people who didn’t get a chance to participate in the Kickstarter.…

ORSSP fwoomp!

The Old Races Short Story Project has been delivered to its patrons complete with a cover, patron acknowledgements, table of contents, all sorts of exciting things, in .epub and .mobi formats.

Aghglghlghg. I didn’t have comments turned on, I guess, in the Open Office document, and so I have only just now, after two passes through the NO DOMINION manuscript & working from the revision letter & believing I was finished with revisions, discovered the 79 comments left in-manuscript by my editor. I am not, it seems, done with revisions after all. Alghgghl. Although this certainly explains the otherwise-bewildering lack of commentary in the manuscript, since Matrice usually has loads of good thoughts and things to point out… Guess I won’t…
