Kassa Gambit at Tor.com and Triumph over Tragedy LIVE!

My first book review of 2013 is now live at Tor.com, The Kassa Gambit by M.C. Planck

Also, the Triumph over Tragedy anthology, for which I edited a few of the stories, is now available for sale at amazon.com. All the credit for this thing happening goes to R.T. Kaelin and Sara Chorn who worked diligently despite life trying to prevent both of them from even breathing. I'm pleased to have been a small part of ensuring this thing gets published. 

The anthology is only $6.99 and proceeds go to relief for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. The amazing list of contributors includes Elizabeth Bear, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Michael Stackpole, Michael J. Sullivan, Mark Lawerence, Bradley P. Beaulieu, Philip Athans, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Jean Rabe, Robert Silverberg, R.T. Kaelin, Ari Marmell and many more.  $6.99 folks (eBook only), you really can't go wrong. 

R.T. Kaelin Interviewed at SFFWorld

Today I posted my interview with R.T. Kaelin, the mastermind behind the Hurricane Sandy benefit Anthology, Triumph over Tragedy.  We also discussed his fantasy saga, which begins with the novel Progeny.

Go have a look, won't you?

Triumph over Tragedy Anthology Updates

I've recently begun helping out with the Triumph over Tragedy anthology, editing some stories.  Another author to join the ranks is Adrian Tchaikovsky, as Sarah recently highlighted on her blog. If you haven't been following her blog before, you should now. In addition to her tireless efforts to raise awareness for the anthology, she runs one of the best genre blogs on teh intarwebs.

Author R.T. Kaelin immediately grabbed his bootstraps and put together Triumph over Tragedy, a benefit anthology for victims of Hurricane Sandy. Sarah of the terrific blog Bookworm Blues has been pitching in as well.

Triumph over Tragedy: Hurricane Sandy Benefit Anthology

As many of my readers know, I live in New Jersey.  Superstorm Sandy hit two weeks ago and to say that the natural disaster transformed  parts of the region into an apocalyptic landscape would be an understatement.  In other words, I'll take the five-day power outage and dozen or so toppled trees around my property as a win compared to what happened in other parts of New Jersey and New York.
