Those of you who view the blog proper may notice a couple new covers on the sidebar. I have stories in two anthologies coming out this fall and I’m very excited about both.
The first one to come out will be Dark Faith: Invocations. From the Apex website:
Religion, science, magic, love, family — everyone believes in something, and that faith pulls us through the darkness and the light. The second coming of Dark Faith cries from the depths with 26 stories of sacrifice and redemption.
My story is “The Birth of Pegasus”. The full TOC is here and includes such awesome authors as Nisi Shawl, Jeffrey Ford and Tim Pratt. It launches at WorldCon in Chicago. If you won’t be there but want to pre-order a copy, click here. (You can get 10% off with coupon code: DFBradford)
Next is Diverse Energies, a YA dystopian anthology where all the stories feature characters of color. It will be out in October. I’m sharing a TOC with Ursula K LeGuin. I have not yet stopped doing the boggie about that.
You can’t pre-order Diverse Energies yet but I’ll let you know when you can.
What do you think of the covers?
I'm writing an Afrofuturist novel set in a matriarchal ancient Egypt where queer women of color rule the sand and sky. Want to know more? Read about it here. Want to help make it happen? Become my patron (& get free fiction)!
Paolo “I could only find one person in all China with whom I could bond over how awful the Chinese are” Bacigalupi is an interesting choice for such an anthology.

Agreed. But then I’m not the editor…
I guess at least it’s not a Mike Resnick story.
Wait.
(checks TOC)
*cries*
Well, I am sure your story will be good.
Oh, wait: Resnick is in the Dark Faith one. Lost track of whose TOC I was looking at. Oh, well. Wouldn’t be a proper day if I did not make a bone-headed error.
The boggie? Is that like, the wop and the boogie had a baby? ::runs away::
Congrats on the forthcomings!
