Announced at the SFContario 2 science
fiction convention in Toronto last month,
The Dragon and the Stars
won the 2011 Aurora Award in the category of Best Related Work in
English. The Aurora is Canada's fan-voted national science fiction
and fantasy prize. A great big THANK YOU to the
reading audience, the Canadian and international SF community, and those
who made the book possible:
Wu Yan, Julie Czerneda,
John Helfers, Sheila Gilbert, my co-editor
Derwin Mak and (I can't say
this enough) all the fantastic authors who contributed their wonderful
stories. Pictured above are Derwin,
Tony Pi (author of the lead
story
"The Character of the Hound") and myself at the Aurora ceremony.
Xie xie!
The Dragon and the Stars is
available on
Amazon.ca. Stories and excerpts can be read

Ian Sales has announced the table of
contents for his upcoming anthology
Rocket Science
(Mutation Press, 2012), which
will have 17 stories and five non-fiction articles including my essay
"Making Mars a Nicer Place to Live". The essay
examines the science behind the terraforming of Mars as it is portrayed
in science fiction, and is based in part on work funded by Maison
D’Ailleurs and the OURS Foundation as part of the
Innovative Technologies from Science Fiction (ITSF) project of the
European Space Agency (ESA).
