... In an almost Steve Goblesque moment, I'm reporting another sale this week.
 
My story "It Could Have Been Love But the Turtle Broke the Harmonica" which went through the SFReader crit group -- I'm pretty sure it did anyway, but maybe not -- sold to Ray Gun Revival.
 
I hear a title change will precede its publication.
 
Thanks for all the support!

2007-2008 credits:
"The Man With the X-Ray Nose," in Journeybooks' Unusual Journeys II;
"The Second Fire," upcoming in Mindflights; "Shouting at the Stone," upcoming in Speculative Realm's anthology; "Lesson Learned" and "Rip-Snorter" upcoming in Ricasso Press'  "Black Dragon, White Dragon"; "Iron Hearts of Death",  upcoming in Ricasso Press'  "Magic and Mechanica." 
 
2006 credits:
"The Teeth of the Matter" and "Cold Dragons" in Dragons, Knights and Angels; "The One-Legged Assassin" and "Possession is Nine Parts" in Electric Spec.

Now if I can only get someone to pay me a nickel every time someone says "Goble-esque."

Congrats, TW. Sorry they want to change the title, though. I love the title.

Congratulations and it's a shame the title is to be changed as my first thought was: 'what a fabulous title?'

Great!  Love the original title, it's a real attention-grabber.

Thanks for all the kind words ... the suggestion was to keep the original title as a subtitle.

Anyhow, it's kind of like Steve Martin said in "The Jerk" ... I'm just glad I'm in there somewhere.

Note to Steve: I'll pay you a nickel for each time I use your name like that ... hmmm. That means I owe you a grand total of a nickel.

You should, though, consider trademarking the phrase "One man sword-and-sorcery machine" ...

That title has me itching to read the story. Just the kind of quirky weirdness that makes my ears stand up.

Congrats!
