The third time's the charm. I emailed Shawna McCarthy another revised version of my story "The Day Pietro Coppino Spoke to the Mountain" Saturday night, and she wrote back yesterday afternoon that she was sending a contract. Yippee!

Don't know yet what issue of Realms of Fantasy it will run in, but it should be relatively soon. Realms doesn't have a lot of lead time.

I read an earlier draft of this story on the "Hour of the Wolf" radio show in August; you can hear it here, if you're so inclined.
