Nice words about “Waiting for the Green Woman”
Posted by Sean | Under Fiction Friday Feb 5, 2010Rich Horton had something brief, but nice to say about my story “Waiting for the Green Woman.”
My favorites included Simon Petrie’s “Downdraft”, set on another planet with intelligent zeppelins and flying human-like people. This story is about a young flyer’s ill-advised attack on one of the zeppelins — a story really about misunderstanding, with no bad guys. Also, Becca de la Rosa’s “Not the West Wind”, about, variously, and among other things: a woman in love with a guitar, the west wind, Ireland, and a foundling girl; and Sean Markey’s “Waiting for the Green Woman”, about a man with a tree for a daughter. Other strong work came from Eric Del Carlo, Genevieve Valentine, and Stephanie Campisi.
Nice to see some love for that story, and for Sybil’s Garage issue 6, which is really a fantastic issue.
While we’re on the subject of me, I want to gently remind Nebula/Hugo/Campbell voting readers that “Waiting for the Green Woman” is eligible for both awards, and the full story can be read online for free.
