I worked it out. I’ve been tired a lot lately. There are all sorts of good reasons for this, having to do with seven-year-old girls waking their dads in the middle of the night, recurrent bouts of flu, lack of weight loss etc etc. There’s also been a lot more work at the day job, but there’s also this. I sort of just realised that six books I’ve worked on will come out this year. You’ve already seen The Jack Vance Treasury, The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Best Short Novels: 2007, and The New Space Opera, and both Eclipse 1: New Science Fiction and Fantasy and Ascendancies: The Best of Bruce Sterling will be published shortly. I’m proud of all of them, but sort of surprised that there were so many. I’m also up to my neck in the year’s best for next year. It needs to be delivered and done by World Fantasy, so that’s a rush now. Oh, and I sold another book last week. More on that very soon. Busy times.
