if it's clockwork it must be Phoenix . . .



Editor Mike Allen ([profile] time_shark) and publisher Vera Nazarian/Norilana Books ([profile] norilanabooks) have already posted the ARC cover for this forthcoming anthology, but it's a pretty splendid piece of a/w so let's see it here as well!

Meanwhile, apologies for the lack of much by way of posting on this blog this week: the to-be-read-urgently PDF proofs of my book The Dragons of Manhattan arrived on Sunday night from publisher Screaming Dreams at roughly the same time that Pam and I were at the emergency vet's watching one of our cats, Strider, breathe his last. It has been a busy but not very happy few days. Normal service will be resumed soon, honest.

My condolences regarding Strider. It was good of you and Pam to be there with him.

Clockwork looks to be a great one!

Oh, so sorry to hear about your cat. We've been through it, and it's a very sad time. My condolences.

I'm so very sorry about Strider. It is so hard and sad to see a faithful friend breathe their last. We went through that a couple of years ago and it was difficult.

On a lighter note, the a/w for the book really is stunning, and quite intriguing! Congrats!

So sorry to hear about your cat. Sad when good friends move along without us.

Gorgeous artwork on the new anthology! Congratulations! Quite the line-up, also. *jots ISBN*

I already posted to Pam my sadness about Strider, but please allow me to do it again here. I wondered why you'd both been so quiet. Big hugs from both of us.

So sorry about Strider. When I think about anything happening to Duzie I get physically ill. They are family, in every sense of the word. Much love to you and Pam, Jean Marie

Oh no, I am so sorry about your loss of Strider! Just saw this belatedly!

I'm sorry to here about your cat. They are precious things.


Serendipitously, my family once owned a dog named Strider. It's a good name.
