In the next few days I’ll be submitting my third short story in as many weeks for an anthology. This one, though, might be the one I’m most proud of. Not the story, per se, though I do think it’s really good stuff, but it’s certainly the most important anthology.
Put together by my friend and author R.T. Kaelin, Triumph Over Tragedy is an anthology that includes dozens of notable authors and every cent of the proceeds are going to the Red Cross and relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Sandy. (I’d also like to give a shout to Sarah Chorn who is helping on editing duties.)
I won’t say I was the first author to sign up when the redoubtable Mr. Kaelin cooked up the idea, but I was pretty darn close, and I’m very glad to be involved. For a donation of at least $7, you can get some very, very cool stories.
Here’s the full list of authors involved so you can know why $7 for stories by all of them would be a steal:
• Robert Silverberg (Hugo and Nebular Award winner)
• Marion Zimmer Bradley (Locus Award winner) (donated by the MZB Literary Trust)
• Elizabeth Bear
• Michael J. Sullivan
• Mark Lawrence
• Bradley P. Beaulieu
• Philip Athans
• Adrian Tchaikovsky
• Stephen D. Sullivan
• Rick Novy
• Jean Rabe
• Maxwell Alexander Drake
• SM Blooding
• Erik Scott de Bie
• Alex Bledsoe
• Matthew Wayne Selznick
• R.T. Kaelin
• Ari Marmell
• Jaym Gates
• C.S. Marks
• C.J. Henderson
• Marian Allen
• Bryan Young (<== That’s me, in case you forgot)
• Donald Bingle
• Janine Spendlove
• T.L. Gray
• Miya Kressin
• Steven Saus
• Addie King
• Rob Knipe
• Vicki Johnson-Steger
• Tracy Chowdhury
• Doris Stever
• Gregory Wilson
I’m told more are coming.
As of this moment, the anthology has raised over a thousand dollars, I’d like to see you guys double it.Click here to go to the page and donate.
The story I’m providing is a science fiction piece in a world I’ve been building for a long time for an extended stay in. I hope you guys will enjoy an early taste of it.
