The story is Root and Branch, which also won an Honorable Mention in the Writers of the Future competition last year.
I don't yet have a "buy now" link for this issue, but when I receive one, I'll return to this post to include it.
The anthology looks like being a really good read -- am looking forward to it greatly. Have been an ocean of spec-fic lately, and genuinely enjoying it. We're lucky enough to have entire shelves filled with Andromeda Spaceways, Eidolon, F&SF, and a huge assortment of other magazines, from Story Hack to Aliterate, via Lovecraftiana, Interzone, Analog and so on. And on. The indie magazines tend to have a much fresher taste and feel than the old, long-established mags, and I've been enjoying them greatly.
Also, this would be an appropriate time to mention that I've finished the novel, "The Hesperides." This piece isn't spec-fic, but an Aussie story, full of angst and humor with an ending which, I hope, will be not merely "feel good," but also surprising. For my next trick (ha!), find a publisher -- which means finding a literary agent first. The quest (roll drums, sound trumpets and set loose the dragon sentinels) has begun.
