Speling

A short story of mine, “Paradise Is a Walled Garden,” is coming out in an anthology of alternate histories called Making History.  Now the editor, Rick Wilber, tells me that I spelled Al-Andalus wrong all the way through.  (“Al-Andulus”)

Arrggg!  (As I wrote to Wilber.)  This is embarrassing, especially since I do proofreading as well as writing.  And didn’t anyone at Asimov’s Science Fiction, where the story first appeared, think to check it?

(And of course in the first draft of this post I spelled Wilber wrong.  I give up.)
