Pre-Orderings
Not sure why Amazon can’t do it, but Barnes and Noble understands that On Samuel R. Delany’s Dhalgren is available for pre-order (publication date is September 9). Publishers Weekly has already said that fans “will want to snap up” “this immersive and comprehensive collection.”
In other pre-ordering news, last night Michael Ventrella, I, and four other authors slated to be a part of Three Time Travelers Walk Into… participated in a Zoom interview which will be posting in the next day or three; it was a lot of fun. And speaking of TTTWI, the Kickstarter campaign continues, and it would be great if you told a friend about it. Thanks!

I forgot dessert
I just realized there was a reward level missing from the current Kickstarter campaign: dessert! So now it’s there, The Sweet Time Machine, limited to only the first ten backers at that level!
Also, a comment elsewhere reminded me that the time traveling trios I’ve been posting are simply ideas for stories that might appear in the book… if you choose to write them. But the stories haven’t yet been written, and I have no idea which writers are going to write about which characters (though there is one pledge level where you can tell Peter David which characters to use).
