That's the name I settled on for the story I wrote about yesterday.
"Ungentle Fire" is a stand-alone sequel to The Scarecrow, the last book of the Broken Land series, and is therefore set in the same world of the Books of the Change/Cataclysm.
It's also just been accepted into the Dozois/Dann Dragons anthology, the follow-up to their successful Wizards. Whew!
I'm having a pretty good run with shorts at the moment. As well as this sale, there's "The Inevitable" in The New Space Opera 2 and "A Glimpse of the Marvellous Structure (and the Threat It Entails)" in Godlike Machines, all of which were written in the last few months. Who'd've thought?
Up next is a novella for Dreamtime: Legends of Australian Fantasy (Jack Dann and Jonathan Strahan), and then I have to get back to novels and the PhD. Alas. It's been a wonderful diversion, but at some point I have to go back to paying the bills.
There'll always be haiku, I guess.
