I'm a very happy camper right now. I just got paid $271.05 for "Coil Gun."
This is my first professional level sale, so I don't know how it goes with other markets, but my other sales were to lower-paying markets that did not pay as quickly. Kudos to Michael Wills at Digital Science Fiction. And this is my largest haul for anything I've written--the next biggest contender, "Skirmish at the Vale's Edge" (BattleTech), was $196.
(Which reminds me, I've got some more stories in mind for protagonist Arnold Hoefer, who was fairly well-received on the BT boards, and the Clan Wolf conquest of the Oberon Confederation in general. Maybe I can get to work on those at some point.)
"Coil Gun" will be in the third edition of Digital Science Fiction, which will come out this August. When it becomes available, I will promote the heck out of it via this blog, my Facebook fan-page, and other means. Once print editions become available, I intend to head down to Griffin and do the book signings I promised my former co-workers at The Griffin Daily News so long ago.
