Writing News

Coney Island Wonder Stories, a fiction anthology, is now available from Wildside Press:
Take a trip to Coney Island, dark and delightful. Eleven writers, including Kij Johnson, Maureen F. McHugh, Mike Resnick, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Lawrence Watt-Evans, imagine the fabled playland's past, present and future. Travel with them to dreamland's gateway on the ragged edge of North America, where Merlin haunts the deserted amusement rides, memory is more real than desire, and the dark Atlantic surges behind a bathroom mirror. Edited by Robert J. Howe and John Ordover.

Oooo...I'm intrigued.

I'll start bugging my library system to buy it.

Hey, thanks! I think it's a pretty good collection, obviously. I hope you and your readers enjoy it.

Cool. Mine has been shipped, according to the email I've just gotten. Did you talk to the Brooklyn Public Library? They should order a pile of them. Also what about gift shops etc. in Coney Island? Will it be in local stores?

Thanks! I have a long list of contacts to go through—including the Brooklyn College bookstore—too soon to say yet who will carry what.

Congratulations!! I didn't know you knew John Ordover. He's a good friend of my friend Carol. (I'm having deja vu; we may have had this conversation, and no, not *that* Carol, the one who isn't his wife.)

Thank you, thank you!

I knew John from when he worked at Tor—I actually havn't seen him in years, since I moved back from Oregon. We didn't have this conversation before; I had no idea you knew John.

Hey, hey, hey! Congratulations! This has been a long time coming. ;-)

I ordered a couple of copies a couple of days ago -- supposedly they're supposed to ship early next week. You'll have to sign them, of course.

Thank you! Yes, it's been a while in the making. I'm glad to see it in print.

Nice. Great theme, and what a line-up! And it's available through Amazon too. I'll bet getting one for sure. Thanks for the announcement.

I was going to tack this on to my amazon order, but I think I should get it from the publisher. So I'll be ordering it today, wahoo!
