I&#8217;m very pleased, especially because the anthology has an interesting background and a history of very high-powered authors in its pages.</p> <p>I&#8217;m so happy to see my stories travel around the world!</p> http://faerye.net/post/on-a-bookshelf On a bookshelf near you 2010-06-17T15:24:39+00:00 2010-06-17T22:54:11+00:00 <center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/faerye/4710382430/" title="Is Anybody Out There? on the shelves at Powell's by Felicity Shoulders, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1293/4710382430_0b881d1a1f.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Is Anybody Out There? on the shelves at Powell's" border="0"/></a></center> <p>I took this picture last week &#8212; <a href="http://www.powells.com/partner/33419/biblio/0756406196?p_isbn" rel="nofollow"><em>Is Anybody Out There?</em></a>, edited by Nick Gevers and Marty Halpern on the shelves at Powell&#8217;s City of Books (Sci-Fi/Fantasy section, Anthology bookshelves). Of course, when I first saw it there the previous week, there were two copies!</p> <p><strong>Updated to add:</strong> I don&#8217;t plan to be this spammy every time I get something in an anthology. This is just the first time there is a <em>book</em> with my name anywhere on it (back cover, <span class="caps">POW</span>!) and I will simmer down shortly. When I get a book of my very entire own published, however, this level of bloggery will seem by contrast quite mild.</p> http://faerye.net/post/fermi-paradox-anthology-on-shelves Fermi Paradox anthology on shelves 2010-06-03T23:32:00+00:00 2010-06-03T23:33:02+00:00 <p><img src="http://faerye.net/media/IsAnybodyOutTherecover.jpg" alt="Cover of the DAW Books anthology Is Anybody Out There?" title="Is Anybody Out There?" style='border: 0px; margin-left:5px' align="right" height="250" /><br /> <a href='http://www.powells.com/partner/33419/biblio/0756406196?p_isbn' title='' rel='powells'><em>Is Anybody Out There?</em></a>, edited by Nick Gevers and Marty Halpern, had a release date of June 1.

When it comes out in June, you know I&#8217;ll haunt the shelves at Powell&#8217;s downtown and take photos of it.

I&#8217;d never co-written a story or written a story to fit a theme, but I am adventurous (when adventure doesn&#8217;t involve danger or leaving my house) so I said yes.</p> <p>We just found out our story was accepted and will be published in the anthology! <em>Is Anybody Out There?</em> is due out in June, 2010 from <a href="http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/daw/index.html">Daw Books</a>. Here are the <a href="http://martyhalpern.blogspot.com/2009/03/fermi-paradox.html" target="links">details about the theme</a> and the creation of the anthology from Marty Halpern.</p> <p>Our story is called &#8220;Rare Earth&#8221; and one <a href="http://wonko.com" target="links">early reader</a> calls it &#8220;PortlandTASTIC.&#8221; I&#8217;m really proud of our work, and excited to see it in bookstores next summer!</p> <p>And yes, there was a fortune cookie for this too, but my camera is out of batteries.</p>
