I’ve been dying to go public about this for a while, but I wanted to make sure it was all solid before I did.  I am DELIGHTED to announce that I have sold a follow-up anthology to The Starry Rift to Sharyn November at Viking Penguin.  Life on Mars: Tales from the New Frontier is a young adult science fiction anthology that takes as its leaping off point that we do go to Mars in 2040, as announced by George Bush last year.  Some of my favorite writers will create stories somewhere in the timeline of that future Mars.  It should be a terrific book. It won’t be out till some time in 2010, but if The Starry Rift is anything to go by it will be beautiful.  I’m also delighted to be working with Sharyn again, who is one of my favorite people.
