\"The<\/a>
Cover for The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Seven<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It feels like I’ve been in whirlwind since the plane touched down in Perth and the Toronto trip came to an end. There have been parties, celebrations, book projects to start, and book projects to finish. I’m working on the Locus Recommended Reading list while also trying to edit reviews, give the day job due diligence and spend some time with the family.<\/p>\n

In amongst all of that, I’ve found some time to finish the table of contents for The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Seven<\/a>, which will be published by Night Shade Books in March 2013. \u00c2\u00a0 I still have the introduction to finish and the running order to finalise (this is simply an alphabetical listing), but I’m very happy with it.\u00c2\u00a0 As always, there were stories I would liked to have squeezed in, ones that permissions weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t available for and so on, but that’s always the case.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m actually a bit stunned that this is my 36th anthology! Anyway, without further ado here is the table of contents!<\/p>\n

    My special thanks to Marianne Jablon who has worked heroically on this book to help me get it finished. If I make the deadline it will be thanks mostly to her hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
