Yesterday, a very special package came in the mail.
It's my first contributor's copy! My Intergalactic Clickbait story, Moving to a New Planet? Don't Take Disembarkation Sickness With You, which first appeared right here on Steemit, has been published in a science fiction anthology!
Science Fiction for the Throne is a book filled with science fiction stories that you can read in one sitting--like when you're on a bus, waiting to be seen at the dentist's office, or, you know, taking care of your business. There are forty stories by forty different authors inside, and from what I've read so far, it's a great selection of thrilling stories, funny stories, and stories that make you think. If you're interested, you can pick up a copy on Amazon.
Here's a better view of the cover.
This publication is my first pro-level story sale. So I was naturally excited to get my hands on my contributor's copy. What I didn't know when I sold the story to Science Fiction for the Throne was that my brain renderings would appear next to the brain renderings of quite an impressive lineup of science fiction authors!
If you're a reader of science fiction, chances are you will recognize some of the names in this table of contents. And you'll understand why I'm over the moon to be included in this collection!
And, of course, since my story was a reprint first published on Steemit, there is a mention of Steemit in the book's copyright info page. Check it out:
So that's it! My exciting news for the day!
And I want to thank all of you Steemians for reading my Intergalactic Clickbait and encouraging me to keep writing it. I'm hoping to publish my own Intergalactic Clickbait collection when I get a few more stories written.
