Sallya free!
Alien Skin just bought “The Captivity of Princess Sallya.” It’s scheduled to appear in the October/November issue.Friends, Romans, Countrymen!
John Scalzi is looking for SF clichés. Oh, be still my beating heart! I can’t help it, I still love spaceflight and Amazon women on the moon; I suspect anyone who read SF of a certain period at a certain age or younger can say the same. Heh. *ponders...Yikes. Juvenilia.
