Re-reading it now, I can’t imagine putting this book together any other way.
Future e-books in the works from Mythic Delirium Books include Clockwork Phoenix 2: More Tales of Beauty and Strangeness and Clockwork Phoenix 3: New Tales of Beauty and Strangeness, the middle and concluding volumes of this trilogy of offbeat anthologies, each of which fared at least as well as the first in garnering praise and awards notice.
To exchange my editor hat for my author hat for a moment, I'm also planning to release two books of my own fiction: The Button Bin and Other Horrors, a gathering of my own best horror stories, including the Nebula Award-nominated title tale; and Sleepless, Burning Life, a critically acclaimed and somewhat controversial novelette written in the same style I used for the Clockwork Phoenix introductions, that first appeared in Steam Powered: Lesbian Steampunk Stories, edited by JoSelle Vanderhooft (Torquere Press, 2011.)
Watch for news of these and more at mythicdelirium.com.
