It was to launch the first volume in an ambitious but untested new anthology series from a new publisher. The publisher was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheatlandpress.com\/\">Wheatland Press<\/a> and the series was Deborah Layne and Jay Lake&#8217;s extremely well-received and all round kinda wonderful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheatlandpress.com\/polyphony\/index.html\">Polyphony<\/a>. The party was good but the book was better, and Deborah and Jay have gone on to edit a series that does what ever series should: get better with each volume.<\/p>\n<p>While we&#8217;re all currently waiting for <em>Polyphony 6<\/em> (yes, six!) to appear, Deb has decided to make it even easier for people to pick up a copy of <em>Polyphony<\/em> and see what all of the fuss is about. If you pop over to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheatlandpress.com\/index.html\">Wheatland Press<\/a> website and order any title before 30 June, you&#8217;ll get a <em>Polyphony<\/em> of your choice free!<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is an exceptionally good offer, given that you can choose between great books like <em>All Star Zeppelin Stories<\/em>, Steve Utley&#8217;s <em>The Beasts of Love<\/em>, Howard Waldrop&#8217;s <em>Dream Factories and Radio Pictures<\/em>, or Jay Lakes&#8217;s <em>Greetings from Lake Wu<\/em>. There is a veritable feast of coolness to choose from. How could you resist? Why would you resist? Go buy a book: buy one for a friend and get one for yourself for nothing! You get to look good by giving someone a present and still score a book for yourself. It doesn&#8217;t get much better than that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Way back when I attended a party at WorldCon in San Jose.
