The improbable underground druidic order
My story in Ruins Terra features an Underground Druidic Order.
Two days ago, i found out that the story, After the Stonehenge bombing was rejected as a reprint for an SF magazine. The editor wrote and said that the idea of an Underground Druidic Order was not convincing.
But yesterday, I met with my former high school teacher from out of town. She said when her elderly father died she was contacted by a Druidic Order she had never heard of (nor did she know her father, a Scotsman, was a Druid). They offered to pay for her father’s funeral, and hundreds of them attended the ceremony, and then disappeared just as mysteriously.
I conceived the underground druidic order as a tongue-in-cheek idea, but it looks like it could be more true than I realised!
Long live the underground druidic order.
And of course, I couldn’t help sharing the above anecdote with the editor of the SF magazine.
