My story “Wakers” is out now in the August issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction. This is the third of my stories editor Sheila Williams has selected, and it continues to be a humbling honor. I’m stunned to see my name on the cover. It was a teenage dream to ever be published in Asimov’s, let alone see that.
I’m sharing these pages with some established authors – Sandra McDonald, James Alan Gardner, Jason Sanford, Kathe Koja & Carter Scholz (who doesn’t seem to have a website, and whose name some websites have as Sholz. He’s also a composer of music, which is kind of cool) – and some newcomers like me, Sieren Damsgaard Ernst and Matthew Claxton (sorry, can’t find links for them right now).
The issue has been out for a couple of weeks, though right now I’m still waiting for my subscriber’s copy. A disadvantage of living halfway around the world. Still can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Awesome. I was thinking of re-upping my Kindle subscription to Asimov earlier today. I might just do it.
Thanks Alexandru. It sure is a great magazine. I’m humbled to have my stories appear there.
Downloaded the issue on my Kindle last night and got a chance to read your story. I enjoyed it very much. I have a soft spot for scifi involving colony ships and long voyages.
Cool, Alexandru. Thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Congrats, Sean! Very exciting!
Thanks Dane. I appreciate it.
