Ahem.  From Monty Python:  "Australia, Australia, We Love You, Amen."  A certain Monty of my own is the first piece of fiction I've ever published (very, very excited about it, as you can tell!).  Monty is from Mars is a 750-word story about a first-grader whose new neighbor says he is from Mars, and can prove it!  Forthcoming April 2010 in Explore Magazine, Australia (Pearson Publishing).

Which Martians do you know?
