Support a Starving Author...

My short story, Russka's Last Painting, is up at iFiction. You can read the first 45% of it for free; if you want to read the rest (I know most of the people reading this have probably already read it), or if you simply want to support a (not quite) starving artist, you'll need to pay $0.99 via PayPal or a major credit card.

Russka's Last Painting was first printed in The Sword Review, and I'm thrilled to finally be able to make it available again through iFiction. I hope you'll check it out, and consider supporting it if you're able!

27 Contest Subs!!

It's absolutely unreal how well the contest has been recieved! Now we have to somehow read all these subs, before the end of May. (Preferably by mid-May, Selena says!)

Naturally, all the Inkies subs were squeezed in just under the wire on the last day. :grins: Don't worry--we still love you guys! (Hey, I'm just so glad you went ahead and entered, I'd be perfectly happy if the subs had come in at 11:59. :-D)

Starting next week, check DKA early and often for announcements on the contest! (Although, more realistically, it will probably be more like the week after that.)
