My short story “The Old Equations” has been purchased by Lightspeed Magazine under the editorship of John Joseph Adams. It is tentatively scheduled for July publication. As soon as I finished writing it I felt that Lightspeed was its home. One reason is that the story is an homage to Tom Godwin’s story “The Cold Equations,” and I had read that Adams considered that one of his favorite science fiction stories. I think it is nice to write an homage to someone and to have it bought by someone who saw the connection and appreciated it–or at least felt it.
