The Love Quest of Smidgen the Snack Cake

July 23, 2009

A story of mine appears in the latest issue of the ultra-cool Space and Time Magazine.  The story, “The Love Quest of Smidgen the Snack Cake,” is a dark romp through the aisles of a futuristic supermarket, where a snack cake with baked-in intelligence seduces a reluctant customer.  It’s a demented tale of twisted baked goods equipped with frightening technology that’s closer than you think.  I hope you’ll check it out.  I just got my contributor’s copies today, and I think the Space and Time team did a marvelous job presenting my story.  The artwork is especially fantastic; I’ll be posting an image here soon, to give you a taste.  Meanwhile, here’s a look at the cover:

Check out the latest on Space and Time issue 108 right here.  And I hope you’ll pick up a copy and subscribe to the magazine.  It’s great stuff!  Editor-in-chief Hildy Silverman is upholding a fine and longstanding tradition, continuing the work of the great Gordon Linzner, who started S&T.

I also got some other cool stuff today, but I’ll have to tell you about it later.  Fodder for the next blog or three, eh?  See you soon!
