My SF Story in Cyberpunk: Malaysia.

Yesterday was a landmark day for me because Cyberpunk: Malaysia was finally launched at the Cooler Lumpur festival. Cyberpunk: Malaysia includes in it my first SF short story published by somebody other than myself. That story is entitled " What the Andromaid Reads at Night " and is what I feel is the best short story I've written so far. It's a pretty big deal for me, in many ways. But what really makes it primarily a big deal is that this was the first acceptance for me this year (out of three so far, and I'll talk about the other accepted short stories in a future blog post) and was the desperate affirmation that I sorely needed to prove I could indeed write something that somebody else actually likes. (Like most writers I am insecure.) My awesome editor and me. This somebody happened to be the all-round awesome Zen Cho , co-winner of the William L. Crawford Fantasy Award, and author of the fantastic anthology of short stories Spirits Abroad
