IGMS Anthology Out

The first of what I hope will be many InterGalactic Medicine Show anthologies is came out today.  I picked up a copy at my local Borders. 

Here’s the table of contents:

  • Forward - Orson Scott Card
  • Introduction - Edmund R. Schubert
  • In the Eyes of the Empress’s Cat - Bradley P. Beaulieu
  • Mazer in Prison - Orson Scott Card
  • Tabloid Reporter to the Stars - Eric James Stone
  • Audience - Ty Franck
  • The Mooncalfe - David Farland
  • Cheater - Orson Scott Card
  • Dream Engine - Tim Pratt
  • Hats Off - David Lubar
  • Eviction Notice - Scott M. Roberts
  • To Know All Things That Are in the Earth - James Maxey
  • Beats of Seven - Peter Orullian
  • Pretty Boy - Orson Scott Card
  • Respite - Rachel Ann Dryden
  • Fat Farm (comic) by Aaron Johnston, based on short story by Orson Scott Card
  • The Box of Beautiful Things - Brian Dolton
  • Taint of Treason - Eric James Stone
  • Call Me Mr. Positive - Tom Barlow
  • A Young Man with Prospects - Orson Scott Card
  • Credits for the Illustrations

Each of the short stories has an afterword by the author, telling a little about how the story came to be written.

The discerning reader will have noticed that a certain three-named author has more than one story in there.  That’s right: I’m flattered that two of my stories were selected for the anthology.

Scott M. Roberts, who is also in the anthology, wrote a poem in honor of the occasion of the anthology’s release.  Scott was at Orson Scott Card’s workshop with me, and then he won Writers of the Future the same year I did, so he went to that workshop with me and was published in that anthology with me, too.  Quit following me around, Scott!

    So how many “congratulations” are in order? Like ten or twelve? CONGRATS.
