Identity Theft and Other Stories

I delivered today the final, revised manuscript for my forthcoming short-story collection Identity Theft and Other Stories. It will be published in February 2008 by Red Deer Press, and distributed by Fitzhenry & Whiteside (the same fine people who do my Robert J. Sawyer Books imprint).

Meanwhile, I'm delighted to report that Red Deer Press is going back to press on my previous short-story collection, Iterations, and that the new printing will have a new cover (to match the upcoming Identity Theft cover).

Identity Theft and Other Stories features an overall introduction by Robert Charles Wilson, and individual story introductions by me. The included stories are:

The visionary editor who commissioned the 5 best stories in this stellar collection would sure appreciate a signed copy.

Wow, dude. Congratulations. You're the one getting your stories published. I will check them out. In the meantime, for a laugh (and maybe because you are on the other side), check out my blog. I'm starting a revolution or a pity party, depending on your point of view. www.literaryrejectionsondisplay.blogspot.com

Hi, Mike. You can count on it! This collection -- hell, my short-fiction career -- wouldn't exist without you. Thanks! :)

Hi Rob,

Is this collection available in paperback yet? I'll see if Audrey's has a copy. If not, I'll special order it. Funny you should mention Robert Charles Wilson previously. I'm currently reading and enjoying Spin.

Hi, Jim. I just sent in the MANUSCRIPT for this collection; it won't be out until next year (we're aiming for February 2008), and then it will be available in hardcover and trade (large-format) paperback; the hardcovers will mostly be for collectors and libraries, although we'll sell them to anyone! :)

Woops, my bad. Sorry for jumpin the gun here. I got distracted when that went out.
