I have just delivered Best Short Novels: 2006 to Andrew Wheeler at The SF Book Club (or, I will have when he checks his email in the morning). The book features nine stories, including work by Steven Erikson, Kelly Link, Ian McDonald, Cory Doctorow, Harry Turtledove, Connie Willis, Wil McCarthy, and Matthew Hughes. I love working on this series, and think the final book is a strong one. I’d loved to have snuck an extra story or two in, but the book can only be so long, and I’m very happy with what is in the book. If all goes to plan, it should be out in May/June.

Cory Doctorow makes some remarkably sensible points about Google’s Book Search service.
