A few days ago, I made this cryptic post on Facebook that I had placed in some sort of contest. I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't 100% sure the magazine had been released yet, but I can see that it is up on Amazon and we are now into the cover month. So, the rest of the story...
Back in early summer, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction held a contest for readers to update a single sentence of a classic SF novel. Contestants could send in as many as six entries. I sent only two, because...well, let's just say it had nothing to do with confidence. Last week, I received a package from Publisher Gordon VanGelder. When I read the letter, my hand went to my mouth and trembled. F&SF is one of the most prestigious magazines in the field. And to see something I had written within its pages has been my dream for more than thirty years. Thank you Mr. Van Gelder and everyone at F&SF.
