"Umbrella Men" sells to F&SF
By John McDaid | Monday, 28 March 2011
My short story, "Umbrella Men" just sold to Fantasy & Science Fiction. Big thanks to my Gibraltar Point writing workshop colleagues Michael, Laurie, Becky, Liz, Dave, Janis, Steve, Rob, and Peter.
And, of course, to Jack, who gave me the first line, and Karen, always my first reader.
Editorial note: WOOT!

Well one thing is certain
You are now Portsmouth's most famous speculative fiction author.
Congratulations. Very well done.

Aw, shucks
Hi, Len...
Thanks for the very kind words.
Although, I have to say, there's one writer of the PCC newsletter who gives me serious competition :)
Cheers.

One writer
Maybe, but the PCC newsletter writing is not broadly speculative fiction. It's a very narrow genre. Given its over-the-top shrill clarion, I'm going with splatterpunk.
