This magazine arrived in the mail today, the issue of Pevnost, which includes my story Waiting For The Zephyr in it.

Crystal Rain in Japan

October 8th 2009 at 7:03 am

My Japanese translator, Hiroshi Kaneko, was nice enough to pass along some more information about the Japanese version of Crystal Rain along with the note that it will be available in Japan starting tomorrow.
