The recent "Black Wednesday" bloodpath at the big publishing houses has prompted yet another "OMG publishing is dying!!!!" story, this one at Salon.com. As with all the other articles we've been seeing for the last decade or so, it hits the usual list of suspects:

I received a note from Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. It looks like my short story "Inside Job" will appear in the July '09 issue.

If you're not familiar with the publication, check it out. If you don't want to pay the postage from Australia, issues are available as PDFs for 4.95AUD which comes out to about $4.00 US.

The December issue of Jim Baen's Universe is live. In case you've forgotten, that's the one with my short story "Johnny Plays 'Round Saturn's Rings" in it. To read it, you'll either have to subscribe or pay $6.00 for the single issue. Either way, it's money well spent, 'cuz little old me is in there with the likes of Ben Bova, Bud Sparhawk, Julie Czerneda, and Greg Benford.
