ANNOUNCEMENT: Coming This Fall... RIVER, the Anthology
Rivers have always been very important to humankind. They’ve been explored. They’ve been navigated. They’ve been called gods. They’ve been blessed and cursed and venerated and used and enjoyed and exploited and polluted since the beginning of recorded history. They’ve been sung about and dreamed about and followed on epic journeys of discovery. The capitals of empires have risen on banks of rivers - and so have a thousand fishing villages, and river landings, and water mills.
There is only one River. Really. And it’s all of them. Every river is different - and yet they’re all the same, vast and full of life and death and mystery and history and adventure and quiet dreams.
This anthology is a collection of stories about rivers - about The River. It will not have a conventional Table of Contents - it will have a Map of Contents, with individual authors’ stories placed on a map according to where on the curve of a river’s life they may fall."
The full TOC - or the Map of Contents, as it were - will be revealed here in June, complete with individual story titles. In the meantime, let me whet your appetite by just giving you a hint of the identities of the writers who have accepted my invitation to join me on this River Voyage (and these are just the stories I have in hand RIGHT NOW - watch this space for updates and a full list soon):
Seanan McGuire
Jay Lake
Brenda Cooper
Irene Radford
Mary Victoria...
There are more stories coming down the pipeline, imminently, by writers whose luminous presence in this anthology will make your eyes shine with anticipation. Keep an eye on this space for additions to this list, and for further announcements as stories come in - and if you are going to be at Norwescon this weekend and want to know more, come find me!
Proudly signing off as
