Nick Wolven in Asimov's - with a cover!

[keyan_bowes]

My Clarion buddy, Nick Wolven has a story in Asimov's. That's big news, but not the big news: After all, one of Nick's Clarion stories sold to them almost immediately.

The big news is that Nick's story is the cover illustration.

In Nick's blog, he says that it was a childhood dream of his to have a story professionally illustrated.

And then I googled the art - by Duncan Long - and in his blog, he says it was a childhood dream of his to have his art on the cover of a scf-if magazine.

So congratulations, both! Here's to childhood dreams and their realization!

Thanks for the kind words -- and the odd bit of synchronicity of childhood dreams realized. As I continue my journey through life, it has become apparent that the causal cause and effect world I thought existed must overlap a world where chance doesn't quite play by the rules.

At any rate, I appreciate your calling my attention to this. You might be interested to know that I've created a cover for the May 2010 issue of Asimov's as well. You can get a sneak preview of the picture in the science fiction gallery at my site: http://DuncanLong.com/art.html
