Write it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories

Ainsley, who sometimes hijacks [livejournal.com profile] spectre_general's account, found this for me: "The Space Between," the interview-article about me that appeared a few days ago in the Lexington Minuteman. I feel absurdly significant: I merit three pages in the arts section? It's a highly complimentary piece of writing. The quotes seem accurate to what I can remember from phone conversation. There are, I suppose, minor inaccuracies; but past one peculiar mistake (I only wish I could take an interview in Latin to graduate with my PhD), I'm pleased beyond words.

Her stories and poems in both collections are often the fusion between the real and supernatural in which the two are written not as opposites, but grinning sides of the same coin . . . In her fiction, Taaffe is often to myth what a passionate professor of Latin is to modern languages.

Can I put this sort of thing on the back of the book?

I don't, unfortunately. I sent him proof corrections in mid-June and haven't heard anything about it since. With volume 2, I didn't hear anything until the final journal was in my mailbox, so I don't expect to hear any updates about volume 3. Wish I could be of more help...

More free association:
Are you still a reader for Sean Wallace by chance? I sent an article back in May, didn't hear about it, queried, didn't hear back. He mentioned on Nightshade bboards that a non-response to a query means he's not interested, so, I'm thinking he's not going to take the article. But he's also been very busy with the move and Fantasy mag. Do you know if he's still looking at stuff from May, or has moved on?

If you think it wouldn't annoy him, yes, that'd be keen. Much obliged. :)

How odd that we have all these things that overlap, writing and interests-wise.
