Whee, it's here

bmlg's story On the Transmontane run with the Aerial Mail Express" is up at Beneath Ceaseless Skies, along with a story by Aliette de Bodard!

I haven't had a chance to read either yet. (I've saved them both via Instapaper so I will get to them.) Beneath Ceaseless Skies is an awesome magazine though. They consistently publish stories I love. I'm sure both these stories meet their high standards. (Aliette de Bodard, BTW, also has a terrific story in the Februrary 2010 Asimov's.)

(In an neat bit of synchronicity, bmlg is a graduate of Viable Paradise which opens for submissions on New Year's Day. Now, no workshop is a guarantee of publication much less publishing success. However, I learned a lot about writing when I went and I got to meet a lot of terrific writers, including bmlg, who I hadn't realized is writing under name "B. Gordon."

Considering "B. Gordon", "L. J. Daly", and "D. K. Thompson", I'm wondering if the secret to publication if you went to Viable Paradise X is to go by your initials. Well, there's Mur Lafferty, I guess. Is "Mur" her full first name? "Chris Azure", of course, is a pen name.)
