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

1. Eclipse Four
2. Godlike Machines (long -delayed, but coming!)
3. Legends of Australian Fantasy (co-edited with Jack Dann)
4. Phantasmagoria and Madness: Tales from the Steampunk Century (co-edited with Bill Shafer)
5. Swords and Dark Magic: The New Sword & Sorcery (a major book co-edited with Lou Anders)

Reprint anthologies

1. The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume 4
2. Wings of Fire
