Still Reading (and reading, and reading...)Right: Aeon Editor Marti McKenna created this cover from her photograph of aliens on planet Earth
In case you haven't been to the site lately, Aeon Eight is on sale at a whopping 20% off at Electric Story. Check out this lineup in order of appearance in the issue: Daniel Marcus, Ron Savage, Liz Holliday, Martin McGrath, Stephanie Burgis, Will McIntosh, Lawrence M. Schoen, and our regular columnists, Dr. Rob Furey and Kristine Kathryn Rusch, along with poetry by Amanda Downum and Marcie Lynn Tentchoff.
The reading period for Aeon Seven and Eight went so long that we've segued directly into reading (electronic submissions only for the moment) for Nine (November 2006) and Ten (February 2007). So far we've acquired stories by (alphabetically, this time) Terry Hayman, Robert J. Howe, Rob Hunter (this means we can't possibly accept any more stories by authors with last names beginning with H. Sorry.), Marissa K. Lingen, and Ken Scholes, with many more under intense scrutiny.
If you've heard the rumor that Ken sold his story at Worldcon a matter of hours after submitting it, you heard right. Aeon editor Marti McKenna told Ken she wanted to see a story she'd heard him read at a Talebones Live reading a few months earlier (the second we've acquired by attending convention readings; the first was Craig English's "Tribes," which appeared in Aeon Five). Ken emailed the story first thing next morning, and editor Bridget McKenna got the happy duty of telling him about the sale around 3 that afternoon. This may not be an industry record, but as an Aeon record, we expect it to stand for a long time.
So keep sending 'em, and we'll keep reaing 'em (all right, even if your last name begins with H). When we've filled Aeon Ten we're taking an editors' holiday and reading something else for a while, like the labels on bottles of really good malt whisky.
