PKD Award StoryBundle
Hi, all,
I just joined Goodreads, and I’m delighted to be here. I’ll be blundering about for a while as I try to figure out how it all works.
Right now, I want to let everyone know that my short story collection, Points of Departure, is available as part of an ebook StoryBundle of Philip K. Dick Award winners and finalists (available until October 15 at https://storybundle.com/pkdaward, and then gone forever.
I hadn’t heard of the StoryBundle concept before this, but it seems like a great way to try a bunch of books. For the next 3 weeks, folks can go to Storybundle and buy my collection -- along with five other books. You set your own price — it’s a sliding scale starting at $5. If you spring for more than $15, you get five more PKD winners or finalists.
This is a wonderful thing, but I’ll confess that it’s giving me a strange sense of having come unstuck in time.
Points of Departure came out back in 1989. To put that in perspective, most of the stories in it were written on a typewriter. I distinctly remember finishing one of them on a manual typewriter while I was on an archeological dig. And now the stories are out on a medium that would not exist for another decade when I wrote them.
Like I said — unstuck in time. But my disorientation is your gain, if you’re in the market for some reading material. Pretty cool. Pretty strange.
The basic bundle of books includes:
* Æstival Tide by Elizabeth Hand (PKD Finalist)
* Life by Gwyneth Jones (PKD Winner)
* The Cipher by Kathe Koja (PKD Finalist)
* Points of Departure by Pat Murphy (PKD Winner)
* Dark Seekerby K. W. Jeter (PKD Finalist)
* Summer of Love: A Time Travel by Lisa Mason (PKD Finalist)
If you pay more than $15, you receive five more books:
* Frontera by Lewis Shiner (PKD Finalist)
* Acts of Conscience by William Barton (PKD Special Citation)
* Maximum Ice by Kay Kenyon (PKD Finalist)
* Knight Moves by Walter Jon Williams (PKD Finalist)
* Reclamation by Sarah Zettel (PKD Finalist)
