The other day I got Awesome News(TM):

Broken Time Blues has officially launched! The great, great anthology of set-in-the-Prohibition Era SF/F stories. This is full of superb authors & will be available in ebook formats soon, but is now available as a print edition on Amazon. If you're one of the lucky folks to be at WorldCon in Reno this week, the official launch party is @ 2pm on Saturday, August 20th.

Authors & stories what might be in this book:

The Sharing by James L. Sutter
Chickadee by Frank Ard
Semele’s Daughter by John Nakamura Remy
The Automatic City By Morgan Dempsey
Button Up Your Overcoat by Barbara Krasnoff
Nor the Moonlight by Andrew Penn Romine
Jack and the Wise Birds by Lucia Starkey
Madonna and Child, In Jade by Amanda C. Davis
Der Graue Engel by Jack Graham
The Purloined Ledger by Ari Marmell
Fight Night by Ryan McFadden
A Drink for Teddy Ford by Robert Jackson Bennett


And my personal delight are the illustrations I did for stories by Robert Jackson Bennett, Jack Graham, Lucia Starkey, Morgan Dempsey, Frank Ard, and James L. Sutter. Pen and ink deliciousness, just for you wonderful readers. ...and we hope the authors like their pictures, too.

The cover by Galen Dara is pret-ty snazzy; your bookshelf with undoubtedly seem bare and backwoods without it. Don't be that dude.

Broken Time Blues Announcement!

So Broken Time Blues is officially slated to release at Worldcon (Renovation) in August! Awesome publishing of art and stories. The stories, they rock. As an illustrator thereof, I can safely say that. Also, I can safely say that the artwork is sub-par, rife with allusion of the roughest sort, and probably a mortal sin.

I heard tell it releases for sale August 1st, but if Worldcon is the release party of the year for EDGE Publishing & Absolute XPress... well, get it online before, or buy it there in person if you're so lucky as to be attending.

For listening to me ramble excitedly, here's a cookie quick peek:
