I just got the email that Shimmer wants to buy "A Convocation of Clowns" for the October issue! I nearly fell out of my chair. My first sale, and to a paying, print market!

This makes me really happy that Antimuse rejected this story...

--Mel

P.S. "A Convocation of Clowns" is from the very first Liberty Hall Flash Challenge. I'll have to check the dates, but this may very well be the first story I had finished since I started writing again. Thank you, Mike!

Mel, that was yours?! I loved it! I remembered seeing the name but couldn't remember who or where.

Congratulations, Mel! Good to see those flashes beginning to turn into acceptances, and good to see Shimmer in action. But most of all, good to see you get a sale. Congrats!
