(you can see a furry tentacle like object moving in out and of the room -it's Bella's tail. She walked back and forth on my lap during some of the interview and although I tried to get her head high enough to be seen by the webcam, alas, only her tail made it into the show.

I'm afraid that what I've got to say is pretty wimpy. I've been in book publishing long enough to know that predicting its future is not something I could ever do. I'm assuming that others taking part in the conversation will be surer of themselves than I am on the subject.

My anthology with Nick Mamatas Haunted Legends is about to be published by Tor. Here are two more interviews conducted with me and/or Nick, mostly about the anthology:

The next interview by Charles Tan for SF Signal, with Jeannine Hall Gailey.

He writes:
" Locus Online has just launched my new interview series, focusing on short fiction and titled "SF Quintessential". In this slot, I'll be talking regularly with influential figures in the field--authors and editors--tying in with the publication of new collections and anthologies, and looking at the state of the magazines. First up is Jonathan Strahan, discussing his superb anthology Eclipse Two. Soon: Lou Anders, on the dynamic Fast Forward 2.

I intend that the series will help promote valuable short fiction publications and provide a forum for discussion of trends in the short form: creative movements and the rather troubled state of the market. There's a huge amount to talk about; I hope "SF Quintessential" can supplement and augment existing debate, at a vital time in the history of genre literature."

Jeff VanderMeer blogged about
the newish or under-appreciated short fiction writers he's most excited about these days--23 women (unless I counted wrong). These are names that you might already be familiar with but if not should/will be soon.

So Matt Staggs, on his blog has decided to conduct
brief interviews with as many of the writers on the list as he can.
