Boskone! Wu's first principle of storytelling: You can't get something for nothing. Somebody (not necessarily the "hero/ine") has to pay for the happy ending. Sometimes it's a death. But a death doesn't necessarily have to be physical. It can be a spiritual/emotional death/1

Is you learned a truth that would cause millions to die, would you cover it up? Is your duty to the Truth or to Peace?
If your boss orders you to do something nonsensical (but not immoral or illegal, you just don't to know the WHY) are you still obligated to do it?

9 years ago: after a lifetime of trying, it was now or never. I gave writing one last try. That novelette became my 1st pro sale. Since then: 2 novellas, 4 stories, 1 novel, 2 Anlab Awards. Never give up on your dreams. They are one of the few things that are truly yours.
