Apologies for the shameless plugging, but my first published story is currently being podcast by Chaos Theory: Tales Askew. Granted, the story itself has been somewhat obscured by the magnificent jingle that precedes it, but still, I couldn’t let the occasion go by without a little self-advertisement.

So, here’s the deal: you follow this link – http://www.genspace.com/ctta/issue-8/tocframe.htm – and go to the podcast screen and listen to “Fear of a Blue Goo Planet” and in return you earn my eternal gratitude. Even if you totally hate it. [Legal Note: Eternal gratitude cannot be redeemed for any monetary value, or indeed, any other kind of value. Eternal gratitude is a purely abstract concept and is in no way legally binding.]

I guess that while you’re there it probably wouldn’t hurt to check out the rest of the magazine – so long as you come back here straight away afterwards.

By the by, I would be immensely grateful for any comments, even those that just amount to “you suck”. Well, no, maybe not those.
