Migrating Cranes

Every afternoon, for the past three weeks, as I drive home from work, I have seen large, vehicle-based cranes heading west. I have begun to suspect that apart from a plan to slow down late-afternoon traffic on the 'M'8 the cranes are migrating west. Quite why is a puzzle to me, but I expect to see them standing forlornly in Saltcoats and Largs, arms raised and extended, mourning their inability to go further as the land has ended.

My Double-O Dee story was rejected by Farthing, no explanation besides an implication I'd not read their submission guidelines. I've just finished the edit on Primero after feedback from the GSFWC. Not sure where to pitch it next. Really, it is a choice between Interzone and something further afield.

Be prepared for something like a 9 month wait if you send it into Interzone, Rich. Also keep an eye open for any theme anothologies or special issues. After all, next year is (2)007.

I think the whole alternate take on the spy thing is very much of the Zeitgeist. And so that means just with Enoch's Vault I'm working on something a year or two too late.

If Interzone really take that long i may wait until their email submission period.
