From my introduction:

Which would you rather do: continue to pound the keyboard of your misbehaving PC or turn the pages of a proper book made from dead trees?

Don't tell me you actually thought about that choice for more than a millisecond.

In this anthology you will find strange tales of touchy-feely interfaces and animated monkeys, the ultimate botnet and the blue screen of death, plus many other humorous and thought-provoking stories.

This book does not reboot.

This hard SF short-short was originally published in Futures (Nature Physics) in September 2008.

(Oh, and there are another ten of my stories there too, should you wish to indulge in a spot of anthologising.)

I'm one of AnthologyBuilder's 'Featured Writers' for August!

Over at AnthologyBuilder, Nancy Fulda has made Paradoxical Pasts her featured anthology. This is my second anthology to receive that honour. I'm surprised (but delighted) to find that my first, Two Degrees of Separation, is the third most bought anthology in AB's public library.

My third anthology is Kill Your Darlings: A Jaine Fenn Sampler, which I assembled to celebrate the publication of Jaine's first novel, Principles of Angels. I heartily recommend both her long and short fiction to you.

I've finally finished compiling Two Degrees of Separation. It is now ready for purchase. If you like the look of this anthology, please consider buying it. I reckon it'll turn out to be a cracking read. Needless to say, I've just ordered my copy.

The final inclusions were stories by David Redd and Steven Utley (thanks Sarah!).

My first attempt at an anthology, courtesy of Anthology Builder, is nearing completion. I have space for one more story, possibly two if they're short.

*** Aliette and Sarah, this question addressed to both of you: Do you have a friend on the AB author list who has a story you'd like to see included? If so, let me know and I'll do my best to include them. ***

I haven't finalised the running order yet, and the introduction needs some work, but I shall probably finish the anthology this weekend. And yes, I shall be buying a copy!

:-)

Edit: Some Sherlock Holmes style investigation reveals that someone has already bought an earlier version of this anthology! Doubtless it's now a collector's edition ;-)
