In the mail... redemption!

So, I came home yesterday to a most welcome package wedged into my small mailbox:



My contributor copies of Brave New Love, one of the American edition, one of the British (the covers are slightly different).

Yes, this is the infamous young adult anthology formerly-known-as-Wicked Pretty Things. If you don't know the looooong story behind this book, you can click here and here. After editor Trisha Telep left the project, the publisher Constable Robinson asked Paula Guran to revive the anthology. And Paula was kind enough to invite me to contribute (and she hoped I would write something queer for the book).

So I did.

I hope all of those folks who were incensed with what happened with Telep will see that Guran redeemed the publishers' efforts and has edited a worthwhile addition to the fields of YA dystopian and romantic short fiction. Not to mention, she bought my very gay tale about poetry and the robot apocalypse.
