"Lightships and Sabers"

Somewhat belatedly, a few more details about the news that I had a story accepted in this antho, edited by Becky Kyle and Carol Hightshoe, coming out in Spring, 2016, (though that precise date may vary with family circumstances of the publisher. )
But in the meantime, my story is included, and both editors say they loved it!

Letters to Tiptree - Coda

Hot off the press:

     

Not only has Letters to Tiptree been short listed in the British Science Fiction Awards for Best Non-Fiction, it's hit the top of the best sellers in its category on Amazon. Congrats to Alisa Krasnostein and Alex Pierce!

 

Letters to Tiptree - An Opportunity

Almost everyone reading this will recall James Tiptree Jr, aka Raccoona Sheldon, aka Alice Sheldon, and the dramatic story of her life, times and impact on SF and fantasy, especially during the "gender debates" that raged in SF in the late '60s and '70s.
Last year was the 100th anniversary of her birthday, and among other tributes, Twelfth Planet Press put out a volume of letters:  letters to Tiptree from people now in the field, describing what s/he meant to them in some way or other. Letters to and from Tiptree and other notables of the time, commentaries on Tiptree's work from more notables. The Table of Contents is an eye-popper.
Everybody from Ursula Le Guin and Joanna Russ to Gwyneth Jones and Nicola Griffith has a voice in here. Even, she added modestly, me.
Right now, the Hugo nominations for 2016 are open, voting allowed for people who attended the last SF Worldcon, or are going this year or next. Letters to Tiptree is eligible for nomination as Best Related Work this year, and to celebrate, spread the word, allow more people to collect this cluster of Good Stuff, and maybe even nominate it for a Hugo, voila!
Twelfth Planet Press are dropping the ebook price to 99 cents on Amazon and other ebook retailers. Window is open from now till March 31st 2016.
