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

Congrats!

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" ...

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

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.

... 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!
