Matthew Hughes's Blog: barbarians of the beyond - Posts Tagged "bertie-wooster"

George R.R. Martin has announced that Old Venus, a theme anthology he has co-edited with Gardner Dozois, has been turned in to the publisher, Bantam Spectra. It should be out next year.

It's an anthology of stories set in that swampy, dinosaur-ridden Venus-of-the-mind that used to exist before we sent probes that revealed it to be a sulphurous hell-hole.

The antho brings together some stellar names. My contribution is a Jeeves and Bertie Wooster romp, with the names changed to protect the innocent (me) from lawsuits.
