SFPA Dwarf Stars Vote Deadline Extended ; Girl At the End of the World Book 2

Members of the Science Fiction Poetry Association who failed to get their DWARF STARS votes in by Friday (see August 11), take heart!  The announcement came yesterday afternoon that they’ve extended the deadline for voting to the end of the month, August 31.  My poem in this is “The Werewolf Explains,” tucked in at the top of page 21.  Telling you in only four words all you need to know should you meet a lycanthrope, it’s also the shortest poem in the book (full disclosure:  if one counts in the title, making a total of seven words, there is an untitled haiku-type poem that comes in a bit shorter, but that takes three lines while my poem has just two).  But many of the poems are worth reading even if you’re not a member of the SFPA.

Nevertheless, if you are a member but failed to vote in time, you now have a second chance.  More information can be found here.

Also Fox Spirit Books has announced that Book 2 of THE GIRL AT THE END OF THE WORLD is now out in print format.  This is the one that takes up the happenings post apocalypse, while my story “The Borrowed Man” (cf. August 8, et al.), set in my far future dying-Earth world of the “Tombs,” is in the opening section of Book 1.  However, if you read that volume and enjoyed it, and yearn for more, it can now be obtained by pressing here.
