leahbobet | Clockwork Phoenix Rises from the Amazon

(no, not the river.)

I have via

time_shark this morning that Amazon has made Clockwork Phoenix available early -- it's not yet the official release date, but nonetheless, anthology! So it is available for your breathless acquisition right this minute, and I recommend breathless acquisition, as it contains stories by Catherynne Valente (

yuki_onna), Cat Rambo (

catrambo), Laird Barron, Ekaterina Sedia (

squirrel_monkey), Cat Sparks, Tanith Lee, Marie Brennan (

swan_tower), Jennifer Crow (

kythiaranos), Vandana Singh, John C. Wright, Erin Hoffman, (

zhai), and yet more after that. I quail to be surrounded by such awesome.

Incidental to this, Amazon appears to have created a community to talk about me since my name is one of the tags on the Clockwork Phoenix sale entry. This disconcerts me greatly, especially the "Leah Bobet" Customer Images section. I went and tagged the rest of the anthologies I have stories and poetry in, like a good little self-promoter, so it's actually a pretty decent list of the Amazon-purchasable stuff. Keep that in mind while you're talking about how I eat worms and wear silly suspenders on the Leah Bobet forum. *g*
