dancinghorseFirst of all, we finally have a cover for HOUSE OF THE STAR, the horse book coming out from Tor Starscape in November. You can preorder it on amazon. And now look!
I'm really excited about that.
Aaaannnnd about this:
Last year I aided and abetted the creation of a Steampunk shared-world anthology over on Book View Cafe. I helped with copyedits and proofing as well as worldbuilding and writing. I was the copy editor for the story I'm squeeing about today, and it is Amazing.
Apparently an award jury agrees with me. :)
In the official wordage:
Book View Cafe author Sarah Zettel has been nominated for the 2009 Sidewise Award for her novella, "The Persistence of Souls," from the collection THE SHADOW CONSPIRACY, Tales of the Steam Age, Vol. I, edited by Phyllis Irene Radford and Laura Anne Gilman.
THE SHADOW CONSPIRACY is an anthology of new fiction released in 2009 from Book View Press, the publishing arm of Book View Café, which is the Internet's largest professional authors' cooperative. All the stories are set in a steampunk universe where the inventions of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage changed the world and Mary Shelly's tales of creating life were far more than a ghost story. Available exclusively as an ebook from Book View Press, the collection is part of the ongoing drive of Book View Cafe's professional authors to bring their work directly to the rapidly growing numbers of online and on-screen readers.
Following on the heels of the success of the first volume, Book View Café will be releasing a second volume later this year: THE SHADOW CONSPIRACY VOL. II.
THE SHADOW CONSPIRACY can be purchased from the Book View Café bookstore. For a limited time, Sarah's story will be available to read online for free.

I'm working right now--in between squeeing on lj--on a story for the second volume. One more round with the indomitable Emma, featuring the Rani of Majipur and a flock of bejewelled mechanical courtesans.
I'm really excited about that.
