Hey, something of a more lit’rary nature now. I have a stored reprinted in the new collection Alien Contact edited by Marty Halpern. Here is the cover:
I am very jazzed about this for a whole bunch of reasons. One is that I have had very few stories anthologized this way (as a reprint). Another is the superb company I’m keeping in here—Le Guin, Swanwick, Silverberg, Cadigan, Gaiman, King, Stross, and so on and so forth. Still another is that Marty took one of my own personal favorites, Texture of Other Ways. This is a kind of prequel story to my Secantis Sequence. This is about the big hairy conference that precedes the events in my novel Compass Reach and sort of sets everything in motion.
I would put a link to direct purchase, but I don’t really want anyone to buy it from Amazon. I’ve been in a real “support your local independent bookstore” mode for some time now, so until I find a better direct link I’d like to ask you all to go order it from your local indie. Sorry if this is inconvenient, but that’s how I feel just now.
Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy it, especially if you didn’t catch these stories the first time around.
