The Mural- Rejected - F&SF
- In Revision
3SF rejected Mirror, Mirror, saying that it's "AWFULLY long" considering that it's just a rehash of a fairy tale with a twist. I'm still convinced that SOMEBODY is going to buy the damn thing, as soon as I can figure out where to send it.
Tides of Change was written specifically for Julie, because she wanted to see a story from me for Odyssey. It's not any sort of guarantee that she's going to buy it, but I'm definitely moving up in the world if editors are now coming to me and saying "hey, give me something."
The producer liked the stories I sent her, so I'm studying up, preparing to turn Savage Beast and The Mural into screenplays.
