Yeah! Mike Allen decided to do a Kickstarter to fund Clockwork Phoenix 4!
Clockwork Phoenix to me houses everything that speculative fiction can be: approachable, readable, enjoyable, innovative… I am looking forward to this publication. Many of the authors published in the Clockwork Phoenix books have gone on to win awards, sell novels to publishers, and so forth. These are A-line authors; in short, Mike Allen knows what he’s doing.
(and, yours truly is up on the auctioning block!)
I get to meet up with Mike this weekend at Readercon. If you, dearest Darkcargo, would like a sampling of one of the wonders from the Mythic Delirium dark-and-twisty Press, let me know. No promises what you’ll get, it’ll depend on what’s available still in print, what he’s lugging around with him, etc., but his is my gift to you. Leave me a note in the comments or let me know some other way.
Maybe you’re thinking “hum. Nice but probably artsy fartsy. I’ve probably never heard of these people.” anyone heard of Saladin Ahmed, Catherynne Valente, Gemma Files, to name a few of the authors pinned to the Clockwork Phoenix cork board.
WHAT wonders will come from the fourth volume?

ooohhhh, me! pick me! *raises hand like she’s Hermione Granger*
I’d be thankful for any kind of hard copy anything anthology that Mike Allen as been involved in from Mythic Delirium. hard copy, cuz, umm, I don’t have an e-reader.
I think you get *that* one. The one with the story about dinosaurs in space. Or maybe that *other* one, the one great hiding place for the Moon. Or maybe …
dinosaurs in space? SWEET! also, hiding the Moon sounds cool too. . .
