I will have a story, "A Queen of Ice and Snow", appearing in next year's Sword and Sorceress 34. This will be the last volume of the series, and it was by invitation only.

Back at the beginning of the year, I submitted a story, "Inseparable", to the Writers of the Future contest for the 3rd quarter of 2018. Just this week I learned that my story received an Honorable Mention. Far from a consolation prize, this means that my story was in at least the top one-percentile of winners for that quarter. In other words, it was in the top 100 best stories submitted to the contest.

 My mother passed away last night; she was 81. She had COPD, so it wasn't unexpected, but she went downhill quickly over the past week. She wants to be cremated and have her ashes scattered over some peaceful idyllic country spot. She is survived by myself, my sister and her husband, her granddaughter, and her grandson and his wife. She just missed seeing the birth of her great-grandchild.
