"Mortis Persona" now up at Fantasy

[babarnett]

Despite the icon, I get to start my Monday off with a squee!  My short story "Mortis Persona" is now up at Fantasy Magazine.  I may be ever so slightly excited about this one.  As vegan_vulcan  (Fantasy's Managing Editor Molly Tanzer) put it the other day: "This story made me cry and drool and cheer all at the same time."  I inspire drool, people! What more endorsement could you possibly need to go read?

B'AWWWWWWWWW OMFG /just finished reading

What a neat concept. I loved it!

Don't hold back, what did you think? ;) But seriously, thanks!

[esotaria.livejournal.com]

Think? I don't believe in thinking. That's too brainy. I think with my GUT.

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

Lol!

NOW it's tagged for lunchtime reading. Ha! The link on Facebook didn't work for me.

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

It's a conspiracy. Facebook doesn't want you to experience my awesomeness. Livejournal, on the other hand, totally does. :)

Congratulations, Barbara! And what a terrific comment from Ms. Tanzer! Go, go, go, Barbara! (will read today as soon as the three month troll allows :)

Thanks, Krista! As adorable as the troll must be, I hope he lets you get some reading time in. :)

Hey. I inspire drool every day in the grandbaby. Oh wait. he just drools, period. Not necessarily at me. So I'll give you that one!

YAYYYYY! Congrats, Barb!

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

Inspiring drool is under-appreciated art form. :) But seriously, thanks!

Thanks, John! Your crit was a big help on this one!

[hildebabble.livejournal.com]

As to the publication, kudos!! Great venue. :)

As to the story: Awwwww! I loved it. Absolutely awesome. I love the setting and especially loved the concept. And my heart ached for Caldus the whole time.

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

Awwww, thanks on both counts! I suddenly feel a need for a virtual group hug. :)

[kristajhl.livejournal.com]

Oh, Barbara, well done! It's wonderful! Many congratulations!

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

Aaaw, shucks...thanks again!

[alaneer.livejournal.com]

Cry and cheer sounds awesome. Congrats!

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

But the drool is vital. The crying and cheering is nothing without the drool. :)

But seriously, thanks!

Congratulations! Does it come with a bib or should I bring my own?

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I believe Fantasy is a BYOB (bring your own bib) establishment.

[jennygordon.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I look forward to reading it later today.

[babarnett.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
