A Few New Titles Turned In
The last few weeks of 2009 seem to be the time for wrapping up some books, and for others to be turned in. For starters, we now have corrections for 90% of the stories for the Jack Vance tribute anthology, Songs of the Dying Earth. Only three authors need to be sent their pages for final proofreading, and then we’ll have everything in line for a mid-2009 publication.
Kage Baker turned in a new novella, a precursor to her Company series. The Women of Nell Gwynne’s is set in the world of the Gentleman’s Speculative Society, the steampunk era gathering of gentleman scientists and adventurers who will eventually form her most famous creation, The Company. Meanwhile, the last stories (including a 10k worder by Joe R. Lansdale) are flowing in for Son of Retro Pulp Tales, which looks to be even more fun than its predecessor.
Add to that stories we’ve recently bought for Subterranean Online by James P. Blaylock, Alex Irvine, and interviews by Jim Butcher, Terry Pratchett, and others, and there’s a ton of good reading coming your way in 2009.
