What to do about "My Sister, My Self"?
I'm throwing this question into the ether on the chance that a voice shouts back with an answer that compels me to action. For those who don't know, "My Sister, My Self" is the first story in the Jon & Lobo universe. It is also the only story, at least so far, that does not include Lobo. In fact, it takes place about 135 years before the events of One Jump Ahead. The story first appeared in an anthology, Isaac Asimov's Tomorrow's Voices, which you can find online from used book sites such as Alibris. I've received a few requests for the story, and now I'm trying to decide what to do about them.
I've considered multiple options:
* I could try to sell it to a magazine in the hopes they'd reprint it. The odds are low, but one never knows.
* I could see if Baen would be willing to bundle it with some upcoming Jon & Lobo book.
* I could post it here as a freebie.
I haven't done the first because I doubt it would succeed. The second is tempting, as is the third, but neither option has really sold me.
If you have any thoughts on the topic, email me or post a comment.
Meanwhile, I'll get back to the final touches on the outline for Overthrowing Heaven. Close, I'm very close....
