When I arrived home from Odyssey, I found a check from Intergalactic Medicine Show in my accumulated mail. It’s for the reprints of “Taint of Treason” and “Tabloid Reporter to the Stars” in the anthology coming out from Tor next year. To my astonishment, the check was for more than I was paid for the stories initially. That was a very nice homecoming surprise.

Today I got a contract from Analog for my story “The Ashes of His Fathers.” Stan Schmidt had asked me for some minor changes while I was at Odyssey, and I wasn’t sure whether that was a rewrite request or an acceptance with a request for changes. I initially thought the former but now am leaning toward the latter.

This is my third sale to Analog. I’m not sure when it will appear, but my guess is next year.
