I said it on twitter a while ago and I keep forgetting to update this blog, so there it goes: my humorous science fiction story Terribly and Terrifyingly Normal will be published on the eight tome of the Unidentified Funny Objects anthology. That’s huge for me because UFO is a pro market, meaning that I will be able to apply for membership at the SFWA.
Terribly and Terrifyingly Normal is a time traveling romp about a “normal” man named Terri Normandeau, who discovers that his chronic bad luck in life is caused by agents of the future whose goal is to prevent him to become the next Hitler. It’s also a commentary on the current ascension of fascism in the US (where I live) and Brazil (where I am from).
I look forward to reading this. Congrats on joining SFWA!

Alas, my UFO story is just a hair short to meet the qualifying criteria (1,000 words), and my only other publication didn’t pay at pro rates. I’ll join as soon as I’m able, though!

If I’d known about the 1,000-word criteria, I would have padded the story with a sentence or two lol.
