Barren Worlds, SF Anthology… (Author Line-Up!)

I’m pleased to announce that I have an author line-up for Hadley Rille Books’ forthcoming science fiction anthology, BARREN WORLDS.  This is a themed anthology, and it’s about planets or futuristic locales which are barren, empty or, more or less, feature lonely people.  Edited by Eric T. Reynolds (with Adam Nakama), Hadley Rille’s speculative fiction collections and authors have gone on to be nominated or recommended in the past for the Nebula Award.  So their books are worth the cover price, and there’s a lot of stories to choose from.

I have an update on the speculative fiction anthology Satirica.  It now stands at 110,000 words in length, and features more than 24 stories by a plethora of talented authors from all walks of life (and many countries, too).  I’m honored to have a story in it for later on in the year.  Two of the authors who have been added include Steven J. Dines and Kevin Spiess.

COMING SOON…

Barren Worlds, SF Anthology… (coming soon!)

Good news! I finally have some information available on one of those semi-pro anthology credits I got back in December.  If I remember correctly, I think it was no. 285.  The name of the anthology, edited by Eric T. Reynolds (with Adam Nakama), and put out by Hadley Rille Books, is called BARREN WORLDS.  Right now it’s scheduled for a February-March 2008 release, and the anthology is themedWorlds which are barren or void of life. There’s another anthology, which runs in a similar vein, entitled: Desolate Places.

Naturally, when it’s released I’ll post ordering info, author line-up, finalized cover, and any other pertinent stuff.  Probably the best thing about being part of these anthologies is that they’ve featured major players in the science fiction arena, and that they often get a nod from the SFWA.  They’ve been recommended for the Nebula Award, featuring such authors as James Van Pelt and Justin Stanchfield.

In other news, my short story collection from Sam’s Dot Publishing is coming along quite nicely.  So far seven brand new stories have been added to the 40,000+ word book, and it’s time for me to name it.  But what should I call it? Let’s find out together, shall we…?
