I got so caught up in the fact that "Brief Candle" got an honorable mention in The Year's Best Science Fiction that I completely missed the fact that "The Singers of Rhodes" from Panverse One was also listed. Woo hoo!

I've received my copies of the new Panverse One anthology, in which my story "The Singers of Rhodes" appears, and it looks fantastic. I think Dario Ciriello, the editor, really hit this one out of the park. Many have remarked that the novella is the perfect length for science fiction, but they can be difficult to sell. There just aren't enough markets willing to play in the 18k-70k word range.
