or earlier. Edited by Edwina Harvey and Simon Petrie, and with cover art by Les Petersen, this anthology from fresh young publisher, Peggy Bright Books, has such an intriguing title that part of the fun will be what that gun cotton did to these imaginations:Joanne Anderton - 'The Bone Chime Song'
Adam Browne - 'The D____d'
Sue Bursztynski - 'Five Ways to Start a War'
Brenda Cooper - 'Between Lines'
Katherine Cummings - 'The Travelling Salesman and the Farmer's Daughter'
Thoraiya Dyer - 'Faet's Fire'
Kathleen Jennings - 'Kindling'
Dave Luckett - 'History: Theory and Practice'
Ian McHugh - 'The Godbreaker and Unggubudh the Mountain'

glad to be in the TOC with you, toots
Well well, Adam. I shall now announce that my first question to the ed's was whether they would bug Adam Browne and Thoraiya Dyer to submit stories. So I am thrilled to see this ToC, which looks magnificent. Every one of these authors and their story titles make my mouth taste cordite. As for that Kathleen Jennings, as I've written before, she disgusts me. Way too much talent. Both her artwork and her stories are charming. My second question to the editors was about the cover. I was hoping (while not wanting to interfere, of course)that they would inveigle Les Petersen himself, one of my favourite artists and one who this title fits. And lo! A wonderful coincidence all, since I've no clout, being just an orther. btw, Simon Petrie also does a great job creating the look of a book on the inside - most attractive and reader-friendly. In typesetting and layout, a model for other presses, both small and big.
it is a very handsome book; I met E and S; very handsome company they were
They deserve to be feted. I'm so looking forward to reading this.
