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!
