Issue #59 of Leading Edge magazine is now available. In it you will find my short story, Meriel’s Brownie. Yay! You can order a copy here.

You may think, based on my last post, that I’m spending the next two months hiding in a dark room with my laptop. I *may* have exaggerated. A little.

I am working hard but the work is fun. Also, I’m beginning to see the fruits of my labour, and that’s gratifying. I received the proofs for Meriel’s Brownie from Leading Edge this week. Complete with illustrations! Seeing the print version with my name at the top — that felt good. Issue #59 of Leading Edge will be available soon. I will keep you posted.

I’m still having a summer. There’s still time to play at the Granville Island Water Park. There’s time to stop by the Market for fresh local raspberries to put on my cereal and Maui ribs to put on my BBQ. There are, occasionally, long lunches with old friends. There are evening walks on the beach.

And I may not be swinging in a hammock, but I did just spend half an hour rocking in a chair while my child’s head grew heavy against my chest. Which is at least as good as a hammock session. Probably better.

Leading Edge Magazine has offered to buy my short story, “Meriel’s Brownie”. This is the same story I recently decided was too long to stand a chance at getting published. I’m happy to admit I was wrong about that. I’ll post details on when and where you can find “Meriel’s Brownie” in print as soon as I can.

Oh, and yay! May’s been a great month so far.
