Cluny, the Sorceress Squirrel
14 years ago
Another one:
For folks who have been around a while.
My short story "Familiars" won the 2002 Ursa Major Award--the link there will take you to my Livejournal where you can read it for free if you're so inclined.
Since then, I've had four other stories about Cluny, the sorceress squirrel, published in successive issues of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword & Sorceress anthology: volume 23, volume 24, volume 25, and the new one, just released a couple weeks ago by Norilana Books, volume 26.
So if you're looking for something to do this Cyber Monday and would like to support one of those venues that's consistantly been open to talking animal stories, please consider clicking the appropriate links. :)

Was a tough sell--as I'm sure you know. Most of the rejection slips I got from her fantasy magazine contained the pre-fab paragraph about it not being a market for children's stories--because, of course, any story with talking animals in it is automatically for children--and the talking cow story she did buy from me for issue #30 was, as she pointed out in that issue's editorial, pretty much a fluke as far as she was concerned.
But Elisabeth Waters, who took over editing the annual Sword & Sorceress anthology after MZB died, she seems quite taken with my squirrel stuff. If a story follows the anthology's basic guidelines, I'm sure she'll give it a fair read whether the characters are fur-covered or not... :)

Anyway, yeah, that's good to know. Now if I can actually get something worked up between now and the next reading period... XD
