Congratulations to the Phoenix lander and its team for a successful Mars landing (and some great new pictures)! This could be a very interesting mission...
It was back at Windycon, in the Green Room before a panel, that I ran into Kerrie Hughes and John Helfers. Kerrie mentioned that she was going to edit a theme anthology called GAMER FANTASTIC, and gee, had I ever been a gamer? Of course I had, I told her. Heck, I'd run a fantasy RPG for several years for a bunch of local people... In that case, Kerrie asked, would you want to write a story for the anthology?
Sure, I answered, especially since the deadline was June 1st of 2008 and it was at that time November of 2007. It's always easy to say "Sure" when the deadline's next year sometime.
( Here's the rest of the tale... Don't worry, no spoilers lurk beyond the cut. It's there in case you're not interested in my rantings on my writing process... )
