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

Editor Mike Allen (time_shark) and publisher Vera Nazarian/Norilana Books (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.

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.

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

Yep. Which was why my feisty black female space-pilot character Leonie Strider (star of a couple of space operas I wrote 'way back) gave her name to a wimpy white male cat: as soon as Pam and I saw him it just seemed the natural name for him (not the "Leonie" part, of course). Maybe we'd had a couple of beers or something . . .
