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.

It WAS ghastly, in more ways than one. I remember being nine or so and my stepfather ripping a book in half (the spine, he wasn't Superman) because I was taking too long to take my bath. *sigh*

But now I can put a book anywhere in my house I want to. Sometimes I leave a book on the kitchen counter just because I CAN. It is unexpectedly sweet.

"my stepfather ripping a book in half (the spine"

Ouch! That hurts even just to read about!

Just noticed . . .

As a Tanith fan, you ought to rush and see http://time-shark.livejournal.com/145856.html.

(A confession: I have a story in that antho, too.)

I think the Selkie is going to order a copy for me. Because, yanno, I'm a completist.

I look forward to reading your story too! :)
