I’m a huge sci-fi junkie and I enjoyed your work. Extremely interesting premise – I’d be interested in reading other stuff as well. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Mustang! Actually I sold three pieces this month, which is awesome. I think I may have made enough money for the double cheezeburger meal at Mickey D's.
One is a poem -- a (hopefully) funny ballad about a con man who tries to swindle the Grim Reaper. The other is a good old fashioned ghost story. I'll let you guys know when they go up. Hopefully, I'll have a couple more sci-fi sales over the next few months too -- I'm shopping a couple of stories around.
Then I can move up to some better paying magazines (Analog and such), then the big first novel with the six-figure advance and then, maybe, I'll start the religion!
