I just realized that I never followed up on the post from June about my story about Space Marine Midwives (In Space).
It has been sold to Amazing Stories, and will appear in the next issue releasing mid-November. I was in the second-to-last issue of Amazing Stories when it folded in 2000, so I find the symmetry especially pleasing to find myself in the second issue of its next incarnation.
The story that will appear is called “In The Republic Of The Blind,” and is a twist on H.G. Wells’s better-known work set on a long-forgotten colony where the formerly disabled preserve their own cultures.
I’ve listened to a couple of radio adaptations of “Country of the Blind.” My favorite has William Conrad as Nunez escaping the valley only to go blind from the snow glare.
