Musing Aloud

Well, sometime back I announced a sale that I was very excited about, but that I wasn't going to name names until I had a contract in hand.  Um, contract is still not in hand, but I've been assured by the editor that it's coming.  Actually, I came to this post with every intention of announcing the market's name.  But I'm hearing this little voice whispering in my ear that if I do, I'll jinx the whole thing somehow.  Even though the editor has already set up the issue, so it'd be a major pain to decide they made a mistake and don't want my story after all.  But you know how insecure I am about things like this.  So...I'm chickening out.  Let's just say it's a fairly well-respected semi pro market from a country other than my own and it starts with the letter "A." 

My story, "Taking Care" will appear in the September issue.  I'm really excited.  The story debuted as Liberty Hall flash #174 as "A Place Called Home".  Thanks to kara_gnome , damonshaw , and strangebehavior for crits!  I wrote it as a prequel to another story that is now known as "Redemption" and is yet to have a home, although I do believe, thanks to nancyfulda , that it has reached final revision stage and has now begun its search for Home.
