mary_j_59I am officially a published author! Well, after a fashion. Issue 31 of Mythic Circle arrived today! And my short story is right in the middle - and it's ILLUSTRATED!
I have to say that I'd never envisioned the scene quite the way the illustrator did. The man looks much more medieval European than I'd thought - I picture my characters as looking Arabic/North African or East Indian. But the composition and sense of motion are really good. I'm thrilled, actually. I just wish I got more copies - also, that I could scan or snag this illustration and let everyone see it. :)
(Mentally jumping up and down all over again - I do hope the nice job they did here with the story presages well for the novel it comes from. My mom was full of questions like that - how big is the readership; who reads it; all that sort of thing. Not unimportant questions, but what I think is: it's a first step. Some readers are better than none, and I think everyone who reads the story here will be curious about the novel.)
Yay!
