Correcting his earlier comment, Realms of Fantasy‘s Assistant Editor Douglas Cohen writes “One poor story slipped through the cracks and remained stuck in transition hell all this time, but Editor Shawna McCarthy just accepted it for the magazine today:
“The Sacrifice” by Michelle M. Welch
“Congrats to the author, and our thanks for her extreme patience. And with this acceptance, I will declare that we are absolutely positively 100% certain that we are caught up and that our next purchases will come from stories submitted to us during the Tir Na Nog Press era. And if I’m wrong… well, I do believe I’ve eaten my words before.”
Welch is the author of the Five Countries novels published by Bantam.
