Scifi & fantasy shorts? I'm in!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up!
I appreciate you investing, Raine -- not just for the good cause, but for all the neat stories, too.
DeleteThanks, raine! I hope you enjoy the stories!
DeleteThanks for the shout out, Lynn. This has been a labor of love for sure and it's a thrill to see it out in the world.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it's a darned good thing I didn't know how much work putting this together would be. :) What do they say? Ignorance is bliss? I'm not sure about the bliss part, but it sure is protective. LOL.
My pleasure, Lisa. And I hear you on the bliss side of things -- one reason I've always dodged being an editor is I don't think I could handle all the work involved.
