Great news! Today I received an email from online short fiction magazine AlienSkin saying they want to buy my recent short story submission for their October/November 2006 issue. This will be my first fiction publication. Woohoo!

I've been submitting stories to this and other online and print publications since January 2003, so it's nice to finally get an acceptance :)

I'll post a link to the October/November issue of the mag when it goes up.

Time to update those stats....
