TWENTY EPICS: The Launch Party (still updated!)
4 o'clock, July 21, 2006
You laughed at the guidelines!
You swooned over the cover art!
You trembled at the Table of Contents!
You chortled over the index!
Now TWENTY EPICS itself can be yours!
Figure 1. You need this book.
Available direct from the printer, via Amazon, and even, so we hear, at your local bookstore. (If your local bookstore is one particular bookstore in Connecticut, anyway, or so we hear, though frankly we’re a little bit confused about this.) (Update: And it's New Jersey anyway. Sorry, all those little New England states look alike to this California boy.)
Now, on to the party! First, my beautiful and brilliant co-editor Dr. G has a few words to say over at her place.
Next, to whet your appetite, several of our fabulous authors have each written a bit about their stories and where those stories came from:
- Christopher Barzak, “The Creation of Birds”
- Paul Berger, “The Muse of Empires Lost”
- Alan DeNiro, “Have You Any Wool”
- Marcus Ewert, “Choose Your Own Epic Adventure”
- Jon Hansen, “The Book of Ant”
- Mary Robinette Kowal, “Bound Man”
- Yoon Ha Lee, “Hopscotch”
- Meghan McCarron, “The Rider”
- Sandra McDonald, “Life Sentence”
- Rachel McGonagill, “The End of the Road for Hybeth and Grinar”
- Jack Mierzwa, “A Short History of the Miraculous Flight to Punt”
- Tim Pratt, “Cup and Table”
- Benjamin Rosenbaum, “A Siege of Cranes”

The offer of free beer still stands, by the way.
Further updates from across the Internet throughout the day, if I can sneak out between meetings.
Where's the beer?
