So the big news is that Mind Seed, edited by David Gullen and Gary Couzens is out. This is a collection of science fiction stories the T Party writers in London put together to celebrate the life of Denni Schnapp, who sadly passed away in January 2013. The stories reflect Denni’s preoccupations with hard SF, biology, and out-there thinking, and the proceeds are going to Next Generation Nepal, an anti-child trafficking charity. The book features my story, Sex and the Single Hive Mind, and I’m thrilled to bits – it’s my first ever fiction publication!
The table of contents is as follows:
- Introduction – John Howroyd
- Sex and the Single Hive Mind – Helen Callaghan
- Evolution – Fox McGeever
- Living in the Vertical World – Rosanne Rabinowitz
- Darkchild – Ian Whates
- Rockhopper – Martin Owton & Gary Couzens
- Bird Songs at Eventide – Nina Allan
- Alien Invaders – Markus Wolfson
- The Three Brother Cities – Deborah Walker
- Mind Seed – Denni Schnapp
Anyway, as you can see I’m in excellent company. We’re hoping to have a launch for the book at LonCon, and I’ll hopefully have more details nearer the time.
