I'll tell you a secret: the story of ours in this here anthology is the first collab Tim and I ever wrote. We were a bit . . . hormonal, at the time. It's truly freaky weird and fun.

Me, I can't wait to read the rest of it. To quote the editor, Nick, "It's a neat mix of spec fic writers, zinesters, pornographers, and transgressives."

Sounds like my kind of people.

You like? You can pre-order the hard cover here. Trade paperback version is available here.

Yes, this has been another public service announcement. Hopefully this one won't make Greg blush, stammer and run from the room. :-D
