leahbobetA few very nice things fell into my inbox in the past few days. I show you them.
1) Via the eagle eyes of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wistling, the Spring 2010 issue of On Spec is due to drop sometime soon. It has some fantastic cover art:
It contains "A Thousand," which is a story about Vancouver, cranes both paper and living, some of the problems of cultural miscommunication, and people being drastically unfair to each other. It also has fiction by that selfsamewistling (as his alter ego, Campbell nominee Tony Pi) and tinaconnolly, who are both cool people whose work I admire.
2)slushmaster informs me that the illustration artist Gary Lippincott did for "Mister Oak", which appeared in the February 2010 issue of Realms of Fantasy (and was probably one of the nicest illustrations I've ever had) is going to be reprinted in Spectrum 17, which will be out in November. It is a fantastic painting and totally deserves to be petted and made much of. Congrats, Gary!
3) Ian Tregillis, OWW alumnus and awesome dude extraordinare, had his first novel, Bitter Seeds, come out this week from Tor Books. You should read it.
4) Ted Kosmatka, whom we have published in Ideomancer and who is likewise an awesome dude, sold his first novel, The Helix Game, to Del Rey this week. Sight unseen, I can tell you that eventually, when it comes out? You should read it.
5) I had high tea last night. Nom.
