On the weekend, I got news about the next two Postscripts anthologies — they’re on their way, and have fantastic line-ups!
I’m delighted to have a story in each of them, and love both of these stories for different reasons, but think it’s especially cool that Postscripts 32/33 has such a strong Australian contingent in the ToC: my co-Brain, Angela Slatter, has a piece I’ve already had the pleasure of reading (it’s chilling and awesome), my lovely Clarion friends Angie Rega and Suzanne J. Willis are in there with what will no doubt be magical stories, and my friend Alan Baxter has a story I’m sure you’ll all enjoy!
Also exciting: Gio Clairval has a story in this volume! I can’t wait to read it! She’s not Australian, I should point out, but perhaps qualifies as an honourary Aussie, just because we love her so much. Also exciting, part two: Michael Swanwick! John Langan! Rio Youers!
And not to be outdone, volume 34/35 has another brilliant line-up, with excellent storytellers like Simon Strantzas, Kit Reed and Kat Howard on the list. So chuffed to be rubbing elbows with these folks!
