Just to let everyone know that I took delivery today of ten boxes of brand new books - 500 in all! 
Yippee!
This is disLOCATIONS, the anthology I've been beavering away at for the past few months. I'm really, really proud of the results.
The book features original stories about people outside their comfort zone, removed from their normal environment, with each author providing their own unique take on this central theme. The result is a collection that explores not only physical dislocation -- travellers, abductees, tourists, conquerors etc -- but also mental, social and emotional dislocation as well, producing a richly varied volume of tremendous, innovative fiction.
Each book is numbered and signed by all contributors -- the nine authors, plus cover artist Andy Bigwood and me.
Contents:
1. Introduction – Ian Whates
2. Tales from the Big Dark: Among Strangers – Pat Cadigan
3. Terminal – Chaz Brenchley
4. The Drifter's Tale – Hal Duncan
5. The Immortals of Atlantis – Brian Stableford
6. The Glass Football – Andrew Hook
7. Remorse – Adam Roberts
8. The Convention – Amanda Hemingway
9. Impasse – Andy West
10. Lighting Out – Ken MacLeod
It's available from the NewCon Press website at a cost of £10.99 (plus p&p)
at: Untitled Document
There's also going to be a (very) limited hardback edition of the book, again numbered and signed by all, which will retail at £25.00. These will be available at the end of the month and there are only going to be 50 copies, nine of which have already been sold. So anyone wanting one of these will have to move quickly!
The first anthology, Time Pieces, (the cover of which won 'best artwork' in this year's British Science Fiction Awards, whilst the book itself is currently nominated for 'best anthology' in the British Fantasy Awards) continues to sell well. Released less than nine months ago, there are now under 140 of the 500 copies remaining.
As a special offer to Chronicles members, anyone from here who orders a copy of disLOCATIONS and mentions this offer, can claim a £2.00 discount on a copy of Time Pieces, buying the latter for just £7.99 rather than the advertised £9.99.
For those who have managed to read this far... Thanks for doing so!
