Life in the 29th Century

  When is a story, not a story?  Turns out that several of the first
stories I sent out were "slice of life" stories or vignettes.  Not stories
full of action and conflict, which is what many editors want.  I've
promised stories for 03.03.2008, so instead of jumping the gun, I thought
I'd share with you "Home Front".  It's a series of vignettes spanning
The War which shows up in a lot of my 29th century SF.  This isn't the
original version of "Home Front" -- I've been mining it for stories,
taking out some of the vignettes and turning them into short stories
of their own for a couple of years now. (grin)

  If you like, "Home Front" was necessary for me to write -- it puts
book ends or parentheses around the timeline of The War.  It also allowed
me to investigate what was happening away from the battles... i.e., back
at the Home Front.
