Works for me.
Of course, it's possible that "...with sex." always works for me. Everything's better with sex!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Constance, don't make me come over there.
It's a brilliant story, one of our best. It's selling as well as the ones who've been flogging theirs all over the web for weeks, and it sold from Mobipocket, which implies to me that the purchasers were strangers (note: purchasers), since otherwise they'd know they could buy it off our website for cheaper.
Also? Not just an e-pub. We are print and electronic publishers of quality transformative fiction celebrating myths, legends, and fairy tales. Yours will be printed in the bump-in-the-night anthology, which will be planned for print as soon as we have enough good bump-in-the-night stories to go in it.
The store's only been working since noon and we've already had several sales. It's pretty cool.

You'd have had another sale if I could figure out how to make Mobipocket work on my machine. See above, re: hatred of technology. Think I'll go look at your main page.
I really should start writing again. I miss it.

Sorry Zen. The PDFs are prettier though. They let me do cool things with the formatting. You can pretend it's a stylistic choice!

bleeble. Ur?
I glanced at the Mobi page again (yes, I've been doing that) and saw "People who have bought this have also bought" and went "Wait. That means--"

By the way, does anyone know any good Appalachian folk tales that involve land spirits? I'm mulling a story that ties into the crumbling of thte land back home from the longwall coal mining, with streams and springs running dry and hills falling apart.

Connie, you might also go back to the roots of the people who settled the Appalachians--Welsh, perhaps? I don't recall off hand, though I'm sure there were others.
