It's got Anna Tambour!
Thanks yet again, Charles! My little story nestles amongst many fine tales by such luminaries as the 2008 World Fantasy Award winner, Rob Shearman; and (just naming a few authors in recent issues) Felicity Pulman, Ian McHugh, Anna Repp, Jason Stoddard, Kaaron Warren, Ingrid Banwell, Stephen Dedman, Paul Di Filippo, Damien Broderick, K.V. Johansen and Katherine Sparrow. This really is a good publication, which is both amazing and disgustingly heartwarming. Coops aren't supposed to be able to do anything well, and ASIM is a cooperative.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for all the work you put into your reviews and picks. You have made an excellent portal. Your arrangement of information is also very helpful, highlighting, for instance, Ursula Le Guin's resignation from the Authors Guild. I wish I had joined the AG for the pleasure of resigning, too, so strongly do I feel about the wrongness of their approach. Lost in history is the attitude of the US government towards the piracy of books in Russia and China. Now it's legal if the company is big enough, and based in the US. So is wiretapping, it seems.
