After Hours, the ur-bar anthology edited by the intrepid Patricia Bray and Joshua Palmatier, is making its way into the real world! I recieved my author’s copy in the mail from the book packager this weekend, and I also received a copy from Josh at Boskone.
And I just received another copy in the mail from Barnes and Noble this evening.
The official release date is, I believe, March 1. But Josh said he and Patricia received their shipments of authors’ and editors’ copies last week, and brought authors’ copies to Boskone. Terrific, I say.
They’ve been running profiles of all the Ur-bar authors here. And they’re running a contest! There’s chocolate and many free books involved—they’re giving away books by each of the contributors (up to entire trilogies in some cases)! Bitter Seeds is included in the swag. And did I mention the chocolate?
SciFiChick.com is also giving away a copy of the anthology.
Sam (S. C.) Butler read from his Ur-bar contribution at Boskone on Saturday. It went over really well.
That looks pretty interesting. Barnes&Noble has it listed for March 1, so I think I’ll grab a copy then.
By the way, congratulations on being in the 2010 Locus recommendations for “What Doctor Gottlieb Saw”.
It’s a fun anthology. They pulled some great writers together (they invited me mostly out of awkward guilt, I imagine) and came up with a very nifty premise.
And thanks very much! I didn’t even know about the list until about an hour ago.
