writerkitAll the contracts are signed and the first things are online for preorder, so I can now announce it: I've made my first professional sale! ("Professional" in this context meaning "pays at a rate to count towards SFWA membership.")
I will be appearing in the Zombies Need Brains anthology Derelict, about lost and broken ships. I will be sharing a table of contents with some awesome people!
Our Official Marketing Copy:
A ship lost with all hands on icy Titan. A dying woman’s soul linked with the fate of an interstellar vessel. A wrecked oil tanker possessed by the ruin-demon who grounded her. A haunted space cruiser of legend again terrorizing those who travel among the stars. A pirate-ravaged frigate concealing magical secrets that can doom the wicked, or redeem the worthy. An inexplicably empty cruiser arriving at a space station amid the panic of a system-wide pandemic.
There is an allure to the ghost ship, the once-proud voyaging craft now abandoned to the void of space or the depths of the sea. In Derelict, speculative fiction authors Jacey Bedford, Alex Bledsoe, Gerald Brandt, Chaz Brenchley, Jack Campbell, Julie Czernada, Anita Ensal, Kit Harding, R. Z. Held, D.B. Jackson, Mark D. Jacobsen, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, Jana Paniccia, Andrija Popovic, Kristine Smith, and Griffin Ayaz Tyree offer their tales of the lost vessel. So climb aboard if you dare, and prepare for a reading adventure that will unnerve and inspire and transport you beyond distant horizons.
My contribution is "Flight Plans Through the Dust of Dreams" and it is simultaneously the quiet story of restoring a long-crashed airship and the much larger story of what political violence can and can't achieve. (I wrote this before the attack on the Capitol. It is now way more topical than it was when I wrote it.)
You can currently preorder the kickstarter edition (of which there are limited quantities because it was mostly for kickstarter backers) and the ebook, or if you want to wait there will be a trade paperback edition available later. Preorder here at the Zombies Need Brains website.
