I, too, look forward to picking up the issue with your writing. Looking forward to the update on release...

Congratulations Chris! I don't usually read Analog anymore but when your story comes out I will pick up a copy.

I've sold another original story! Quoting from my blog entry:

The story is called "No Dominion," and it's scheduled to go live Friday, June 11 on the online DayBreak Magazine. DayBreak is a spinoff of the Shine anthology, a 2010 print anthology of optimistic near-future SF stories. It's the brainchild of editor Jetse DeVries, who felt that too much print SF these days is dystopian, and that it wasn't enough to show us futures we should avoid; it's just as important to tell stories that point the way to the kind of future we should seek to build. As a lifelong Star Trek fan, and someone who's always felt the same way about SF, I figured this was right up my alley.
...
There wasn’t room for my story in the anthology proper, but de Vries decided to publish the overflow in an online form, creating DayBreak Magazine for that purpose, and I was delighted when he offered to buy my story for the webzine. It was my second original sale in just over six months, and will be my first story to debut in online form.

So what’s it about? I don’t want to say much. On the one hand, the title is from Dylan Thomas’s poem “And Death Shall Have No Dominion.” On the other hand, it’s a police procedural. Make of that what you will. It’s my first published original story to be set on Earth. It’s pushing the envelope of the Shine/DayBreak chronological parameters, about 48 years in the future, I think.
...
And I’m just sorry it doesn’t come out until June. I was hoping it’d be closer to the release of “The Hub of the Matter” in the March Analog, which should be out within the next couple of months. Still, two stories coming out within four months or so is pretty good. I just hope it’s a harbinger of further original sales to come.

Cool, I've really enjoyed your Trek work, and I will definitely try to check this out. Where would you find the magazine?

Try the magazine rack of your local Safeway. That's where I see it usually.

Oh yeah, congratulations Christopher.

And the "biolog" is about you as well.

 

[Christopher]

Yep. This is kind of a showcase issue for me. Hopefully the raised profile (within original-SF circles) will help me advance my original writing career.
