"Brimstone Orange" was given an honorable mention by editors Ellen Datlow/Kelly Link/Gavin Grant in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 2006: 19th Annual Collection. Ok, so maybe in the long run it's no big deal, and will have no effect on my writing career whatsoever. However, it's nice to know that Ellen Datlow liked the story. For a writer of horror, I think that's significant.

Kelly, however, didn't really like it that much. I know, because she told me that while at Clarion. Heh.
