A new SF/Fantasy Anthology coming to an e-Reader near you!

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 will get an ecopy for sure, and then a hardcover copy too when it is out.
(Note the
when, not
if...)

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.
Cheers,
Drew.

Keep us updated old chaps!
A worthy cause that I will always champion.

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...

The close friends and immediate family that various cancers have claimed is too long for me to list! I hope it sells really well - kudos to you both!

Thanks EV.
Cancer sucks, of that, there can be no doubt.

So far only UK Amazon, I've asked if it will be available on other Amazons too:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FUSION-ebook/dp ... 01&sr=1-11
At time of writing, it wasn't yet available for purchase (Amazon UK time seems to be different from the rest of the UK time)

Is it Kindle only?
I don't have a Kindle reader (and very honestly, don't want one...)

No, you can buy it on Smashwords too:
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/251387
And you don't need an actual e-Reader to read Kindle books, you can have the app on your phone or PC.

Nice, smashwords also offers epub and other formats, so I'm going to read it in iBooks now. Write on, commanders!
