Well, for reasons I can’t quite put a finger on, I’ve just spent a little while looking at my commitments and it rather looks like I’m going to have a lot of books out in 2010. Fourteen in fact, which sort of staggers me. Should all go to plan – and quite often things don’t – I’ll have five original anthologies, two reprint anthologies, and no less than seven single-author collections. There will also be a 60,000 word special issue of Subterranean Magazine, which will be out in April.
For those of you following along at home, these are the books:
Original anthologies
- Eclipse Four
- Godlike Machines (long -delayed, but coming!)
- Legends of Australian Fantasy (co-edited with Jack Dann)
- Phantasmagoria and Madness: Tales from the Steampunk Century (co-edited with Bill Shafer)
- Swords and Dark Magic: The New Sword & Sorcery (a major book co-edited with Lou Anders)
Reprint anthologies
- The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume 4
- Wings of Fire
Single author collections edited by me
- Mirror Kingdoms: The Best of Peter S. Beagle
- The Best of Joe Haldeman (co-edited with Gary K. Wolfe)
- Fritz Leiber: Selected Stories 1950-1983 (co-edited with Charles N. Brown)
- The Best of Larry Niven
- The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson
- Hard Luck Diggings: The Early Jack Vance (co-edited with Terry Dowling)
- The Green Leopard Plague and Other Stories, Walter Jon Williams
Leiber, Niven, Haldeman, Beagle…I see some truly memorable reading in my future. Thanks!!! :)
Wow!
And inquiring writers would like to know if any of these originals are open for submissions. :)

This is so exciting! Which/how many publishers are involved? Or is it all NightShade?
About half a dozen.. Penguin Viking; HarperEos in the UK; HarperCollins Australia; Night Shade; Subterranean; and the SF Book Club.
Now that is just plain showing off – and me not halfway through Eclipse 3!
