Mere minutes after finding out John had sold a story to Strange Horizons, I found out I’d just sold a story to Animal Magnetism Charity Anthology. All proceeds go directly to Noah’s Wish, an agency that helps rescue animals in the event of catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina.

So this isn’t a huge sale (is it even a sale if all the cash goes to charity?) but it’s nice nonetheless. It’s going to be published electronically — PDF format — and in a print-on-demand paperback format. In fact, since I’ll probably want a hard copy, this “sale” is going to end up costing me money. Not that I’m complaining. :wink:

Oh, the story is called “Of Silver Bullets and Golden Teeth” and it’s about a werewolf of sorts. Werewolf stories are hard to sell but this anthology specifically said they’d accept them. This story didn’t get submitted very many places but I figured it wasn’t right for any of the Big Markets I normally send stuff to, so I figured what the heck. Now I’m glad I did!
