A quick message and a Universal Rule

Hey, peeps — if you recall, back in July my short story “Inciting Incident” saw publication in the first volume of Flying Island Press‘s new magazine, Flagship. Well, Flagship #2 is now available and, while I didn’t have a story for this one, seven (count ’em!) other fine writers are accounted for. And just like issue one (which is still available) you can get it in either eBook or audiobook form. So hustle on over to FlyingIslandPress.com on your little Peggy Flemming legs right now and get yourself Flagship #2. (And if you haven’t done so already, Flagship #1!)
