Those fools at the Academy laughed at me. But I'll show them!

I'll show them all!!!!

I am back from Chicago, and positively delighted to announce that the website for next year's hotly-anticipated Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination is now live for your viewing pleasure!

SEE! The table of contents!
READ! Story excerpts!
DEVOUR! Contributor interviews!
REMEMBER! To order your very own copy!

I know some people don't like buying anthologies for the sake of a single author; often, I am one of those people. But in this case, the ToC is incredible, the subject matter is delightful, and the anthologist is one of the best working in the business, which is a good indicator of quality. Check out the site, decide for yourself, and remember, when I inevitably conquer this puny planet, I will look kindly upon those with complete libraries.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh goodie!
And I have several days worth of free time coming up with nothing to do but read!

In addition to your no doubt fine story there are several authors I recognize. Always a good sign.

That was what I thought, too.

Is there an ebook available anywhere?

seanan_mcguire

November 13 2012, 19:23:27 UTC 4 years ago

Since the book won't be available until next year, no, not yet.

Woohoo! Very nice. You're a natural for this one. :_)

I am glad to be an evil enabler.

I have an "evil laughter" icon you're welcome to steal for these purposes.

My laugh IS an evil laugh.

sorry, I tried to think of something wittier, but that's all I got

It's okay.

I'm not generally an anthology person, but that list of authors...oh wow! This may go on my Christmas list.

seanan_mcguire

November 20 2012, 16:20:43 UTC 4 years ago

I'm really delighted with this one.

Yeth, mithreth. *makes a note to put in a preorder with the local bookstore*

More seriously, this looks awsome and quite relevant to my interests. I actually often pick up an anthology based on one or two authors; there are several (you included) who I know will make it worth the purchase, and I almost always discover a new author or two that I like in the volume somewhere.

seanan_mcguire

November 20 2012, 16:21:08 UTC 4 years ago

I have a very similar approach to anthologies. One or two authors I like will generally be enough for me to justify picking it up.

I am so sorry I didn't get to go! But I have it on pretty good authority you might have gotten to see some of my most favorite people.

seanan_mcguire

November 20 2012, 16:21:18 UTC 4 years ago

I did!

And you were missed.

But how many Mad Scientists will turn out to simply be Mad Engineers, I wonder?

Thank You for huggling on me last weekend!

November 20 2012, 16:21:31 UTC 4 years ago

Quite a few! I have a Mad Sociologist.

Oooooh shiny! There are a lot of good names on that list.

On a different note, Audible tells me that Discount Armageddon is coming out on audiobook next week...which is pretty freaking awesome=)

What makes a really good anthologist?

Well, starting with a Seanan story certainly helps.

Goodreads doesn't list you as an author in the book. I had a hard time finding it on there to mark it as to-read.

seanan_mcguire

December 12 2012, 14:54:03 UTC 4 years ago

I'm sorry. I don't have any control of how Goodreads chooses to list things.
