This is the cover of "Fusion" - a SciFi/Fantasy anthology featuring 25 authors including myself and Drew.
The book will be cheap and profits will go to charity.
If they sell 8,000 e-copies then there will be a limited edition physical print run and I would really like to go from "published" author, to "in print" - it's a small and purely egotistical difference but it'd quite like it to happen, so I will be back on here to beg you to buy a copy when it's released ("in time for Christmas" is the only thing I know at the moment)

I refer to the honourable gentleman's elegant prose and would second this motion. I do believe, as humbly as I can put this across, that my entry is one of the best pieces I've written and it wasn't selected as one of the top three. Daddyhoggy's entry will also be great, yet it wasn't selected for the top three either - so the standard of the stories in here should be absolutely superb.
Profits will go to Cancer Research, which, given my own father is quickly sickening to this accursed affliction, is, to me, quite poignant.
It goes live on Amazon on Sunday (We've just been told) - so I (or Drew) will post links the moment we have them.
My wife's just getting over Thyroid cancer, my mother-in-law is in remission from bowel cancer and my father-in-law died of testicular cancer many years ago - so this gets a big thumbs up from me...
