Winds of Change finally available for (online) purchase

As the title suggests, it is now possible to purchase Winds of Change, the latest Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild anthology, featuring my short story "Time Capsule". There is a PayPal/credit card button on the CSFG website here.

Table of contents and book trailer are also at that link, and I've blogged about them before here and here, respectively.

Chatter

Well, today saw the launch of the CSFG anthology Winds of Change, with my story "Time Capsule" in it. Unfortunately, being on the other side of the world, I wasn't able to be there, but Twitter tells me it all went well. Cover art on the left and I'll post some links on how you can get your hands on it when I have them. (I believe the most reliable way to get a copy right now is from the Conflux 7 convention which is happening in Canberra this weekend. ;-) )

On a completely unrelated note, New Scientist have this neat article about detecting life on other planets. Unfortunately, it requires a free registration to read (and is only going to be freely available for 5 more days). Which is unfortunate for those of us who lack subscriptions. On the other hand, here is a link (pdf) to a poster that accompanies their article (jpeg here). I don't think you need to sign in or anything to see it.

And in the inane memes department, I made a word chart thingy with Wordle. I think it just used the first page-worth of blog posts, so it's a bit skewed. Still, word chart thingies are cool.

Winds of Change - Now with its very own book trailer

The wonderfully talented Nicole Murphy has made a book trailer for the upcoming Canberra Science Fiction Guild anthology Winds of Change. (I posted the table of contents here.)

And so, without further ado, the trailer:

Very cool.

Winds of Change ToC

And now for something completely different.

Rather than a science post, this is a quick note to tell you about the upcoming anthology from the Canberra Science Fiction Guild which includes one of my stories. The anthology is called Winds of Change and is edited by Elizabeth Fitzgerald. The table of contents is at the end of this post.

(Yes, I am a bit late with this announcement, but my excuse is I was on holiday, so shhh.)

My story, "Time Capsule" is third, which, I have decided, is a golly good place to be. And despite all my spacey writing on this blog, the story is set entirely on Earth, so make of that what you will.

Winds of Change is going to be launched at Conflux, the annual Canberran science fiction and fantasy convention, on Friday 30 September. I will post more info about getting your hands on a copy (other than if you're at Conflux, of course) when it's available.
