Default So yeah, remember my husband the sci-fi writer?
I posted some time ago that he got a short story of his published in an anthology, but that his story was offered for free as a sort of teaser to the compilation. His publisher just emailed him to let him know--

(a) His story Vector made it to #1 of Amazon.com's free downloads - Anthology lists last Monday, and is currently still in the top 10
(b) The story itself has over a thousand downloads, just in under three months!

I know some of you gals have read it and told me you liked it, so thanks so much!!! If you know anyone itching to read a new sci-fi story, send them this way Thank you!

I just downloaded it to my Kindle. Once I'm done reading my current book I'll read it.

Thank you SO much, ladies! Can I say how flabbergasted he is that a bunch of scrapbookers is reading his stuff? LOL Um, we *do* have other interests besides scrapping.
