A New Collection

Thanks to Centipede Press publisher Jerad Walters and my agent Richard Curtis, my year comes to a close with a contract for a comprehensive collection of my short fiction in Centipede's Masters of Science Fiction series. I am in superb company: Other volumes in this series feature Kate Wilhelm, Jack Dann, James Patrick Kelly, Fritz Leiber, Robert Sheckley, and Richard Wilson. A happier holiday season than I had expected!

A List.....

...with my book at the top of this list of "21 Books Like The Handmaid's Tale."  I'll add only that I'm in good company and these novels have their own distinctive merits. Not much else to post except that I am still writing but more slowly these days.
