The April issue of Locus magazine came today and there on page XX is a review of my novella “The Goddess Deception”. Now I’ve been reviewed by Locus before, but in their online version. Print is different. It’s an actual something. You can hold it in your hands, you can smell the ink and paper, you can roll it up and swat the fly that’s been driving you bat shit crazy for the last hour. And it certainly didn’t hurt that the review was very positive at that. Thanks for the kind nod, Rich. It’s a little thing, really. Getting reviewed in Locus had been a goal of mine coming up through the ranks, and now that it’s here it made my day. Until…

…an invite came asking me to be a panelist at Orycon 36. We’ve not attended before, and visiting Portland will be a treat. Good days are made of small things, and today we received two.
