Bragging
« on: December 04, 2008, 11:16:58 AM »
A few months ago I got my first publication - a short story in "FANtastika" magazine("Best Magazine", EuroCon-2008). But magazines, while great, still do not rock as much as books do.

Now I can read a short story of mine in a real book - one of our major publishing companies, Azbooka, released a collection of short stories today. Predictably, the book is called "After Apocalypse", and my story is called "What for?" (There is, however, no Xan).

(On the other hand, in US authors get, like, money. We, um, not so much - not beginners, at any rate. Where an US author gets two thousand dollars, some of us are lucky to get two thousand rubles - must do something about this lousy exchange rate! :) Still, publication is publication).

Sorry it's in Russian. I promise to explode US book market some day, but world domination plans take time, so.

Neat!
"Show me how you do that trick! The one that makes me scream", she said,
"the one that makes me laugh!" she said and threw her arms around my neck.
"Show me how you do it and I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you..."
