"There are no banks to rob in this painted doll of a dustbowl fantasy town; the money is all bits and bytes stored in a computer vault no human hands can open, whether they belong to banker or bandit. But there are other forms of thievery to be practiced by the quick and the clever, and Cherry is both, when she sees call to be..."

I am delighted to announce that Raygun Chronicles is available now from a bookstore near you (although here is a handy sales link, if you need one). Featuring my story, "Frontier ABCs," this is a collection of stories in the high-pulp space opera tradition, and I couldn't be happier to be a part of it.

It's especially exciting, and sobering, to be in an anthology with A.C. Crispin, who has been a hero of mine since I was a child, and who passed away before this book could be completed. I probably won't ever be in an anthology with her again. This is an honor. I just wish it were a sweeter one.

Check out Raygun Chronicles for the space fan in your life, whether it be you, or someone that you love, and shoot for the stars.

Just mind the stars don't shoot back.

Congratulations! I'm glad to think I "knew you when." The story must be good -- since I loved how you wrote this post!

Watchin' those stars!

ps Just went to Chris's Tumblr, proceeding from your post of his cover illustration. Did a comment on his fabulous planet-marbles set, mentioning your writing! It's on ultradevi.tumblr.com and ultradevi2.tumblr.com
Awesome!

Nouveau Space Opera not spoken here.
Good.
Word.
How exciting! (this is the time of year I start adding things to my wish list instead of clicking the Buy button. Delayed gratification is so hard!!!)
Indeed! But it is so nice to ask for something that I actually want and can talk about with excitement in front of the family.
So true. So hard.
Yay! It's on kindle, too!
Thanks you for saying that. I didn't see that in the original link, and thought it wasn't. I have now saved monies and get it NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW.
it is? I don't see it on amazon electronically, not from the link, not from doing a search for the author and pulling it up differently, etc. :(
thank you so much! I'm quite good at searches usually, really. It just totally eluded me :) And...bought! <3 again!
Yay!
Starbridge brought me back to SF when I had wandered away and made me realize that I could reader YA as an adult.

While I have to wait to pick this up, I am looking forward to it even more knowing she has a story in it.
I am just so honored to be in a book with her.
Yay! Space Opera is fun.
Agreed.
