(With apologies to
Teresa Nielsen Hayden)I don't think I ever made a formal announcement about this, so here it is: a collection of stories from 512 Words or Fewer will be available next month, as a print-on-demand trade paperback or e-book edition. I'm aiming for an official release on Friday, January 31st (which happens to coincide with the
Lunar New Year).Note that this is not a "best of" collection. Certainly some of the best 512s are included, but I've turned other great pieces into longer stories for submission to paying markets. For example, I recently
sold "Somebody's Daughter," a
Jake and Andy novelette (13,400 words) which started with
"Who's Your Daddy?". The expanded story will be in the next issue (#65) of
Leading Edge Magazine, and you should all go buy that when it comes out. :)Anyway, I'm going to post every Friday from now until the 512 book launches with some background info on its creation. DeeAnn helped me select the stories, I love the title we came up with, and there's going to be spectacular cover and interior artwork by our friend
Natalie. Stay tuned for details on all that and more!
