First professional prose fiction sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sold the mochi story, "River of Heaven!" OMG! I sold it to "Strange Horizons!!! This is a total shock! I have sold other forms of writing before, but this is my first prose fiction sale!!!

I owe this to yhlee, who convinced me to buy Wagashi, a gorgeous and expensive illustrated book on traditional Japanese sweets, by telling me to write a story using it as research to recoup the purchase. I also wrote portions of it opposite her in a coffee shop. Yoon, thank you so much!!!!
