On February 4, I posted a strange message:
There is an old Klingon saying . . .“Today is a good day to die.”
And I agree with that sentiment exactly, except for the part about dying.
More on this subject another day.
Well, to misquote Scarlet O’Hara, today is another day.
The news is finally public, so I can announce the reason why I thought February 4 was a good day. That’s the day I found out that my short story “The Man Who Moved the Moon” was one of the twelve winners in the 3rd Annual Phobos Fiction Contest. Judges for the contest were Orson Scott Card, Jeanne Cavelos, Doug Chiang, Ken Perlin, Stanley Schmidt, and Eleanor Wood.
The story should be published later this year in the Phobos anthology.
