    Hello once again!

    I have just edited the 5th Chapter of The Flaming Wrath of Árelor, which is an important milestone because it means 50% of the work is already done.

    I am considering uploading the first chapters for you retrofans. I think I will upload some to my gopher site for those who are curious as to how the novel is turning out, and upload an epub version of the first chapters to my web store. The idea there is that the people who has jumped into the preorder can see if I am getting the formatting right and bug me if I am not :-)

    The bad news is that Asimov Magazine turned down another one of my stories: "Guns of the Death God." This is not exactly surprising because the story has too much fantasy than the magazine usually accepts, but it was still worth trying. A bit disappointing because proofreaders love that one.
    part.

    I only noticed an .epub that contains a 3-page Prologue. Are
    there other files that I may have missed?

    I would associate the Azimov brand to a purer or technical form
    of sci-fi. I would not expect magic or fantasy. I believe that
    you mentioned that another pub has picked up on your material.
    Devote your concern to that one as much as you can.

    Yup the preview is prologue only as for now.

    The current Asimov magazine is not such a pure scifi publication as it used to be.
    Analog seems to be more traditional.

    Hybrid Fiction seems to be in a sort of limbo as of now, so until it breaks out of
    hibernation I have to keep looking for alternatives. Besides, I had like 10 stories up
    for submission before I even started taoking to Hybrid Fiction.

    Hello!

    I have just risen up from my lazy ass and retaken the edition of The Flaming Wrath of Árelor after the Holiday. I have just finished Chapter 6 in both English and Spanish.

    I am very satisfied with this chapter for some reason, despite the fact it is not that impactful for the plot. I think it is because of some character development that goes on for a character I like specially.

    I want to thank everybody who has checked the epub files I left around and shared their thoughts. You've been very helpful.
