To end 2019 with a song, word came Tuesday afternoon that SPACE OPERA LIBRETTI: MODERN COMEDIC SPACE OPERA WITH ARIAS (cf. November 12, et al.) is out in paperback, with a Kindle edition set for Saturday, January 4.

This anthology sets out to fix that by placing the music front-and-center. We’ve created a glittery disco-ball of fun. 20 stories designed to amuse. Some actually take place in space. There’s even an actual opera in here. We didn’t hold back. Time-traveling cats that quote opera. . . Intergalactic singing competitions. . . An endless song that becomes the soundtrack to countless generations of rebellions. . . And, of course, invisible space bears made of black holes that may or may not be extinct. My dump in the drama pops up in third place in the story contents, a swashbuckling symphony of stubbornness and song, “The Needle Heat Gun” which, accompanied by nineteen additional tune-tales, can become yours by pressing here.
