Alex Shvartsman, publisher and editor of the Unidentified Funny Objects anthologies, has announced the next installment of funny science fiction stories, reprint edition.

It’ll be released September 1, 2015, and doesn’t that table of contents look pretty? I’m honored to be included among such a great list of authors and stories.

In other news, ArmadilloCon starts tomorrow. I’m looking forward to my panels, signing, and reading, but most importantly all the time I get to spend hanging out with some of the coolest people I know.

The best part is that, even though I dearly love my daughter, I very much look forward to attending this convention without any concern over how loud she is during a panel or how much she runs up and down the aisles. Not only that, tending a baby/toddler by yourself in a hotel room means that you’re probably not going to attend any of the room parties. So while I very much look forward to teaching her to enjoy the finer things in life – like SF/F conventions, Fred Ferkel gummies, and the Lego Star Wars game -that won’t work for a couple more years.

In the meantime she’ll have to make do with a homeschool SF education, while I’ll make do with awesome panels and parties this weekend.
