Emerging from self-imposed hermitdom long enough to commune with the internet. Recent (and upcoming) events of note:
TOR Forge has has released a
book trailer for the upcoming Carbide-Tipped Pens anthology, which will include stories by Gregory Benford, Aliette de Bodard, Jack McDevitt, yours truly, and many others. According to the Macmillan web site, Ben Bova also has a story in there, although I don't recall that in the original TOC and so it's possible they're simply referring to the introduction.
I've never been in a book that had a trailer before. I think it's kinda cool.
In other news, Deorc Enterprise ended up asking for a fourth Dark Expanse story, and nearly the entire kaboodle got packaged in with
Surviving the Collapse. They were really fun stories to write. I'm considering sending Bill Snee a ping to see if they'll let me do some more.
Baen Books is releasing
Shattered Shields on November 4th. This is a military fantasy collection with stories by Larry Correia, Sarah A. Hoyt, Gray Rinehart, Elizabeth Moon and a bunch of other awesome people.
New collection of reprints is out, featuring the cybernetic leg story from MIT's Technology Review, a love story from IGMS, and also some not-previously-released stuff.
And, of course, in my now traditional yearly promotional push for Hexes and Haunts, which I dearly love and which I never seem to have enough time to publicize properly:
I am giving away a Halloween Kitten.
(No, really.)
