A website called Diabolical Plots has taken it upon themselves to review pretty much anything and everything that Daily Science Fiction publishes.  In the last week or so, they got to the August 2011 stories, which include my short story, “Exit Interview“.

In short: they liked it.

When I was asked to review “Exit Interview” by Patrick Johanneson (debut 8/3 and reviewed by Anonymous), I was pleased as I clearly remembered reading it the day it arrived in my inbox–always a good sign. I enjoyed it as much reading it a second time.

They also pointed out that no less a luminary than Mike Resnick — Mike Resnick! — has sold a story to Daily SF. That’s some esteemed company to be in, methinks. (For those not in the know — Mike Resnick has been nominated for more Hugo Awards than any other science fiction writer.  Including Grandmasters like Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein.)

So.  How’s your day been?

We said “Sure!”

If you want to have my short story “Exit Interview” emailed direct to your inbox, you’ll need to sign up for Daily Science Fiction, and soon.  My story’s coming in early August.

(If you don’t sign up, all is not lost; stories show up on their site about a week later, and I will for sure post a link to it here, and on Facebook, and on Twitter, and probably Google+ …)

The contract for my Tesseracts story arrived in my email inbox today, as well as the layout version of my story for me to proofread. Awesome. If you need me, I’ll be proofreading.

Hey, does anyone know — can you spell Ouroboros with a lowercase “o”?
Update: Yes.
