dark blue southern seas 2009

Dark Blue Southern Seas 2009, edited by F. Jordan Carnice, is scheduled for release next month. My story "Messiah" appears there - and I'm happy to be part of a publication from Silliman, dedicated to Edith Tiempo. Like many writers who had the opportunity to spend time with her at Dumaguete, I call her "Mom". Thanks Fred and Ian!
