"Riddles," my story of what really happened when mankind met the Sphinx, has been purchased by Jennifer Brozek for inclusion in the anthology Human Tales, coming out in April from Dark Quest Books. This actually happened a little while ago, but I kept waiting to find out the publication date, and then I got distracted, and look, you should have figured out by now that sometimes, I have the attention span of a mayfly. A mayfly which is ALREADY DEAD.
"Riddles" is a rare piece for me, in that it's just fantasy, not urban in the slightest. Even my historical fantasy, like "Alchemy of Alcohol" (coming out in March, in Tales From the Ur-Bar), tends to take place in an urban environment. So getting to play with a world where there were no sidewalks, really kind of awesome!
I'm super-pleased with the story, and I'm super-pleased to have sold it, and I can't wait to see what else will be contained in the book. I'll let you all know when you can get a copy of your very own.
And now I want to go to Borderlands, so I can hug the Sphynx kitties. Hee.

Don't forget to schedule in some kitty-petting time between selling all of those books and stories, though ;-)

Like you, I have a lousy memory, which I tend to describe as being like a rusted-through sieve. I like your comparison to a dead mayfly better, though. ;)
