Some of you may recall our attempt at putting together a short story anthology back in 2014. The threads are still stickied in
Writer's Corner!
We didn't get that over the finishing post, but I submitted my two stories to various magazines. One of them,
Planting the Flag, earned me my very first paid fiction acceptance, at
Stupefying Stories.
But the magazine went through a rough time, for sad personal reasons which the editor Bruce Bethke details on his blog, and
Planting the Flag never got published, until today!
You can read it online at:

I have a big soft spot for this story. It's one for lovers of robots, starships, and grand voyages.
The other story,
Cutting it Fine, appeared
in Electric Spec back in 2016, and I'm really happy that its companion has finally seen the light of day!
