I’ve been on leave from work since the afternoon of Friday, 25 July. That’s a month ago. Today felt like the first real day I’ve had off, though. When I started my break I was getting ready to go to Denver, then I was in Denver, then I was in the bit after Denver where I worried about health and stuff. Well, that’s all laid to rest and this morning I met up with my brother for coffee and a chat, then with the family for lunch, then did some idle shopping. I’ve really done nothing much, and it’s what I need. I’m very aware that there’s a lot of stuff I need to do, and I intend to get to it Monday (I’m shifting my editing work onto my regular work schedule and taking the time I was editing as holiday time). I apologise if I’m late writing to you, owe you a proposal or something – it’s not that I don’t value it or take it seriously, it’s just that I need a little time.
Hi Jonathan
I saw on the Night Shade website there is a 3rd Year’s Best SF and Fantasy volume coming out in March. I’m curious about the table of contents for that one, is it out yet?
Hi Armand –
I’m still reading for the third year’s best, and will be through till mid-October. Although I have a shortlist of stories that will definitely be in the book, I don’t have a full list yet. Based on previous experience, I won’t be posting a table of contents here until the book is finalised and the contracts are done, so I’d guess some time in November.
