As of now, I am (going to be) a published author!

My very first short story acceptance on a story I both worked my ass off on, and loved.

“The Ace of Knives” has been accepted for Postscript To Darkness 6.

A pyro in Team Fortress 2 named “The Ace of Knaves”, Amal El-Mohtar’s “Wing” and “Hoarding” planted the seed, well-timed words watered it, nourished it, made it grow.

And it left the nest, found a home.

I’ve squealed thanks on Twitter already, run amuck, hit things while running amuck, and ran amuck some more. So.

It will be published early next year.

More details then.

On Team Fortress just now…

(voice)GLOVES OF CUMMING URGENTLY: “If I had back-up, we totally could have capped that.”

(Voice)me: “Maybe you need to change your gloves…”

(voice)GLOVES OF CUMMING URGENTLY: (silence)

“Yup”
(me) “And on BLU?”
“Yup”
(me) “We’re fucked…”
(30 seconds or so later, after getting stabbed)
(me) “Yeah, he just stabbed a pyro, so…”
