Ransom and China

It arrived! Today I got my shiny new contributor copy of Ransom: The Anthology. I have the honor of knowing three of the other contributors personally and am psyched to get to read their stories in print, next to mine. For those who are curious, the contributors are (in order): Anne Bujko, Alana Joli Abbott, Dylan Birtolo ([livejournal.com profile] eyezofwolf), Charles Embrey, Jr., Lydia Laurenson, Alonzo Peeke, Summer Hanford, James Nate Turnbull, and Keithland Rye. It looks like a good mix of authors who are recognizable, particularly as frequenters of game conventions, and authors whose work is premiering here for the first time. I'll have to ask Dylan if these folks come with bios. ;)

At any rate, you now know as much as I do (except that I've already read two of the stories--so catch up!). Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the look and feel, and I'm excited to see the first anthology I've contributed to in actual, physical form.

In non-me news, Brian Conley from Alive in Baghdad has started writing about his experience being arrested in China. He's written just up to the point of the event that later caused him to be arrested (they weren't arrested right away, it seems), and it looks like he'll be doing several short articles to discuss his time there. Definitely worth checking out.
