Anyone actually seen the Feb issue of Locus (the one with the 2006 recommended reading list)? I haven't gotten my copy yet, but my sub expired in January and I sent off a check to resub, so maybe things got delayed in processing...
According to the Locus website, there's a review of Interzone 207 in that issue. I'm a little freaked out that it might be a bad review, which would kill what little forward momentum I've got. Someone warn me if I should sit on the issue unopened until the world is green and alive again and I've got some emotional resistance built up...

ETA: although there's a very nice review from Computer Crow's Nest:
'Spheres' by Suzanne Palmer is an excellent story using colloquial speech in the first person to take you right into her own world, only this world is somewhere in orbit. The characters are rather like the flotsam and jetsam of society. Living an impoverished life in restricted space, rather like old people in sheltered accommodation, their main battle is one of survival in the community of living spheres. An old chap become suspicious when his neighbour is killed in an accident and someone else moves in. What is going on? Old people have a will to survive which in many ways is just as powerful, if not more so, and that displayed by impetuous youth.
