Colin and Ishmael in your earbuds
Jun. 5th, 2007 09:49 amI've just sold my early, early story "Colin and Ishmael in the Dark" (Science Fiction Age, September 1993) to Stephen Ely at Escape Pod. (It is possible that the story will run either there or in their new fantasy podcast that will probably launch sometime in July, but this has not yet been decided.)
This story grew out of a writing exercise in one of my college writing classes. We were supposed to write a page in class of only dialog. I wrote three pages, then set the result aside for a couple of years. When I took it out and read it again, I knew how the story should end and wrote the rest very quickly.
I'm excited to hear "Colin and Ishmael" read aloud. I'm very fond of it. I think it will be best to listen to it in total darkness.
(My icon for this entry is the original illustration from this story's appearance in Science Fiction Age.)
UPDATE: I have edited this entry to clear up any confusion about who at the Escape Pod family purchased the story and about in which podcast it will run, which has apparently not yet been decided.
