Glad you grabbed the link before I even got up this morning! I’ll be tweeting about the story thru the day.

One clarification: I’m hoping for fiction between 1500 and 2000 words, with 2300 or so as the upper limit. Stories of 3000 words won’t have a good shot at acceptance, I’m afraid.

Congrats, Susan! I hope a lot of readers find your story.

Great story, Susan. Isn’t that always the way? You can’t win for trying, and if you do, someone will take it from you.

Love your new profile pic too! It’s lovely.

  Thx. I am ready to get out of the city and into a less code restricted area. The only thing prohibited where I am going is the building of big box stores, high rise condos and hotels.
