Steampunked! And I like it.
Announcing the cover for this year’s Writers of the Future Anthology (vol. 32)!
……….. (CLICK HERE TO PREORDER ON AMAZON)…..
I love this cover. In my opinion it is the best in all 32 years. I think Steampunk lends itself well to this kind of whimsy. And such colors!
What’s in the Anthology?
The anthology, which includes all twelve of this year’s winning short stories (including mine) as well as stories by Brandon Sanderson and Dave Wolverton, is now available for preorder on Amazon.
Steampunk Formal?
Building on the steampunk theme, the gala in April will be “steam punk formal,” which means instead of renting a tux I can wear some kind of hybrid Victorian dinner jacket top-hat thingy with sword-cane and gyro-boots! (And goggles, of course. There always have to be goggles. Even at dinner.)
More in the Anthology
The anthology also features essays on writing by Tim Powers (who wrote On Stranger Tides, from which Pirates of the Caribbean was made), and others.
Final Edits
My story is now in final edits, and my plane ticket is in the mail! I am very excited. How lucky was I that my spring break coincides with the week-long conference and gala? Can’t wait.
