I sold my first short story in 1997 (“They Came From Ooter’s Place” to an ahead-of-its-time email subscription magazine called SpaceWays Weekly) and have just sold my 89th (I think), “Snow Days” to Page & Spine. In that last almost quarter of a century, I’ve learned that story sales come in cycles of feast and famine (for me at least); my record is seventeen sales in one year, but I’ve had multiple years where I couldn’t land a single story.
With some recent sales (a few that aren’t finalized so I can’t announce them yet), it looks like I’m going through a feasting period, and I am not complaining!
I’m told “Snow Days” will be published in early December of this year.
