My bad luck is holding. Coyote Wild, after buying my story and holding it for ten months, has told me that it doesn’t fit and they won’t be publishing it. They released it back to me. I had warned them that I thought that it was a tough fit in any magazine – not sf or fantasy – neither hare nor hound, but they bought it anyway. It is more of an early Weird Tales Bradbury style story without Ray’s brilliant use of language.

I’ll send it out again, of course, but I am deeply disappointed. The story itself was suggested by an article in BoingBoing and I was going to tell BoingBoing about it because a link there is worth 10,000 hits – so much for marketing strategies.
