new story going into a RUINS anthology
Okay, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ericreynolds has given the okay to announce it:
The story I just sold is "The Empty Utopia," and it's going into one of the RUINS anthologies to be published by Hadley Rille Books later this summer.
Because it takes place mostly on Earth but a little offworld, too, it might go into either of the books. We'll have to see! Here are the covers:
Ruins Terrestrial cover art copyright (c) by Bob Eggleton, used with permission.
Ruins Extraterrestrial cover art copyright (c) by Guillaume Le Tual, used with permission.
Cover designs copyright (c) by Hadley Rille Books.
An interesting note about synchronicity: I wrote the basis for this story for Jim Gunn's SF Writers Workshop several years ago, but it didn't quite work then and I set it aside. I revised it a few years ago, but it was still missing something. Then I heeded Eric's call for submissions a few months back and dove back into the story. It now bears very little resemblance to the original except for the basic idea and about a quarter of the words. Now (apparently) it works, and I find out it'll be published while I'm co-teaching the SF Writers Workshop with Jim.
The wheel, it keeps on turnin'.
Best,
Chris

Ah, life. It works.

And I'll see you soon - when, exactly?

If nothing else, I'll come for a day and corner/talk to Kij and the other participants to exchange novel info. If anyone's willing. I have to be in a teaching conference in Colorado on the ninth, so all this stuff has to be in order.
I won't leave CSSF in the lurch--whatever I owe. (I don't care about KU as this doesn't cost them anything.)

All those kinetic things!
Congratulations.
