My Clarion buddy, Nick Wolven has a story in Asimov's. That's big news, but not the big news: After all, one of Nick's Clarion stories
sold to them almost immediately.
The big news is that Nick's story is the cover illustration.
In
Nick's blog, he says that it was a childhood dream of his to have a story professionally illustrated.
And then I googled the art - by Duncan Long -
and in his blog, he says it was a childhood dream of his to have his art on the cover of a scf-if magazine.
So congratulations, both! Here's to childhood dreams and their realization!
