That’s how long everyone has to finish assembling Fantasy: Best of 2004. Unfortunately we had to drop a story at the last minute because we couldn’t get permissions for it, so I made changes to the manuscript for the book this morning and emailed it off. It’s due in stores in 110 days. Wow!
Note (added later): I just took a look over at amazon, and they’re listing both year’s best as due out on 1 Feb, which is 85 days away! I’m a little thrown by this.
