Today we have a shotgun blast of small good bits of news!

First, my short story “Long Eyes” is a part of Pyr Books’ prestigious new Fast Forward 2 anthology, which hits stores this week. A far-future space adventure, “Long Eyes” may be the most “sci fi” story I’ll ever write, and it’s only one part of an impressive collection of fourteen mind-bending tales by many of the hottest names in the genre today. Wow!

FF2 is also available online, of course, for example on Amazon.

On the novels front, Plague Year is finally available as an ebook in all three major digital formats.

Kindle.

Mobi.

and Sony eBooks.

Also, just for fun, this week I learned belatedly that my short story “Exit” appeared in Greek, in July, in Issue #404 of Ennea, a weekly, full-color sci fi and comics supplement of the major newspaper in that country. Their main page and the current cover of Ennea can be seen here.

Take a peek!

More good news from afar. My novelette “The Frozen Sky” remains my favorite of all my short fiction (it's dark and freaky!) and it’s well on its way to becoming my most successful, too. This week “Sky” was bought by the Czech sf/f magazine Pevnost, where it will run in their October issue. This is an award-winning publication, full-color, glossy cover. Sweet. Give ‘em a peek at http://www.pevnost.cz/ I have little idea what any of that says, but it’s an awesome-looking site. Excitement!

Also this week, the good folks at the U.K.-based-but-world-spanning podcasters of Starship Sofa have released “The Frozen Sky” as an audio file read by Amy H. Sturgis in her cool, poised, and totally hot British accent, which is perfect for the main character, who is also European. Check it out at http://www.starshipsofa.com

Amy’s delivery is hands-down superior, and they paired me with a Spider Robinson story, which is just gravy on the ice cream! ;)
