I just got my subscriber copy of September’s Asimov’s Science Fiction, so I can now tell you that October/November’s double issue, with my new story “The Termite Queen of Tallulah County”, will be on newsstands August 31!

On a less self-serving note, the September issue contains a story by Campbell Award-winning and all-around wonder Mary Robinette Kowal, who lives in Portland. The August issue, which is still on newsstands for three days only, contains the first published story by Pam Rentz, another great writer of my local acquaintance (she lives in Vancouver.) It’s quite the run of Northwesty scribblers Asimov’s has going (I noticed Kristine Kathryn Rusch in July’s ish, too).

Does a shiny new copy of Asimov’s come to your postbox ten times a year? If not, why not?
