Yes, the rejection from
Strange Horizons was disappointing, but I'm back on track. I just sent an e-mail query to
Postscripts magazine with a brief description of "Parasite: A Love Story." If they like it, they'll request that I send an attached (rtf) file of the story, which again is a boon, because the magazine is in the UK and that means postage, postage, postage. But not if I'm asked to send in an e-mail file! Hooray!
I just read your story in CICADA, and found it intriguing -- couldn't stop reading until I finished it, which is unusual for me. I'd love to hear about how you came to write it, what it means to you, etc. Is it based on a true story? (obviously not literally,but, you know, the basic ideas. . .) Have you been in a place similar to that of the narrator? This may sound strange, but what really got to me was how REALISTIC the story was! Congratulations on your publication. I'm sure you will have great success in your chosen career!
