"My hands are full of snow."
Here we go with the higgledy-piggledy again. It's a coolish day here in Providence, but sunny. After the anticlimax of Hurricane Earl, summer collapsed like a leaky balloon. Now it's sweater weather again

In response to your worries about 'A is for Alien', I have to say it was some of the best SF I have read, and I feel it is because you put emotion first. I found your work in that book to be some of your best, and I hope you see a future in writing a novel, or at least most short stores similar. "Riding the White Bull", "Zero Summer", and "Bradbury Weather" were my favorites, but all of the stories were beyond excellent in both the world development and emotional development.
Thank you, and I probably already have enough sf for a second sf collection. Just not sure how much enthusiasm I have for such a volume right now.
Sometimes I feel you have started to make your own genre
That's about the best compliment I can imagine getting.
My thoughts as to why it isn't selling as well may be because you are not known for your SF and it doesn't seem like something most of your readers, ones that I have had contact with, are interested in. You have done Dark Fantasy/ Horror so well that some may be scared to venture into something they aren't familiar with. I could be completely wrong, but it is my observation from my cave.
You're not the first to make this suggestion. It may have some validity.
