Hello, Edward M. Lerner reader!
It's official -- if a few days later than I'd anticipated.
Muses & Musings, my first short-fiction collection
since 2010, is now released.
Muses & Musings offers seventeen never
before collected stories at every length from flash to novella, chosen
from four separate magazines and three original anthologies. And as a
bonus, there's a guest intro from every-conceivable-award-winner Robert
J. Sawyer
Quoting from the cover copy:
Best
known for his SF novels – including the InterstellarNet series and
(with Larry Niven) the epic Fleet of Worlds series – Edward M. Lerner
is also a prolific author of short fiction. This collection showcases
many of his finest stories, featuring works selected from over a
decade’s output.
Alternate history. Parallel
worlds. Rogue artificial intelligences. Alien invasion. Biting satire as
to where the Internet is leading us. A Sherlock Holmes for the next
century. Deco punk. Deep thoughts about, well, deep thoughts. In this
book, you’ll find these – and more – together with Ed's reminiscences as
to what led him to create these seventeen gems in the first place.
This being a commercial announcement, here are the Amazon links for
Muses & Musings for the Kindle and
Muses & Musings in trade paperback. (
M&M is also available in a plethora of other ebook formats -- check your favorite site.)
If your preferred bricks-and-mortar bookseller doesn't happen to have
the print edition on its shelves, the staff will happily order you a
copy (for which, as a convenience, you might want to offer the ISBN:
978-1612424408).
