I'm dying 😂

When can I buy it?

HOW BEAUTIFUL is this cover?! So excited to be in this anthology!!🌷

Y’all. It is 1 year TO THE DAY since Viable Paradise 2023 started, where I met the most incredible, driven, talented, and ambitious group of writers I’d ever encountered. And we PUBLISHED A BOOK TOGETHER!! I couldn’t be happier and more proud to share New Year, New You with you today. Check us out.

I snuck a story about cache invalidation into this anthology and they still gave it an award. Imagine how good the rest of the stories must be.

Reposting again to emphasize that we won an award!!! Librarians picked the anthology out for best indy scifi.

Tldr librarians think we’re cool ✨ 🥈 🥰 📚

Heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing @scottedelman.bsky.social.

The shiny new cover of New Year, New You: A Speculative Anthology of Reinvention, edited by Chris Campbell with stories from Elizabeth Bear, Daryl Gregory, and more! The title is depicted as a cut-out through a navy-blue starfield, with faded images in pink and purple showing through. Images include: a clock, clouds, pomegranate cross-section, mushrooms, an astronaut, a manta ray, a circuit board, smoke, a woman's face lifting away from a robotic skull, and octopus tentacles emerging from the letter "u". There is also an award badge in the upper right corner.

It's been pointed out to me that I should take more credit: I designed our new cover, drawing on the original tremendous cover art by @sciencegeekmel.bsky.social + inspo from the gripping stories within.
