More WOLD NEWTON!
The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 1: Protean Dimensions - Now Available on Amazon!
Edited by Michael Croteau, this new anthology is a tour through SF Grand Master Philip José Farmer’s many creations, featuring essays by the likes of Randall Garrett and James Gunn, interviews with Farmer, stories set in Farmer’s expanded worlds by Chris Roberson, David Bischoff, Rhys Hughes, Win Scott Eckert, Christopher Paul Carey, and other SF/F talents, and previously unpublished fiction and more by Farmer himself.
While this acclaimed anthology is still available direct from Meteor House,The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 1: Protean Dimensions is now also available from Amazon!
Obviously we’d prefer everyone to buy direct from Meteor House, but we do know that some readers prefer to buy in bulk from Amazon to save on shipping. Full contents are listed both at Meteor House and Amazon. I’d remind everyone that this book features my first Wold Newton Origins tale, “Is He in Hell?” The second tale, the short-short “Nadine’s Invitation,” appears in Tales of the Shadowmen 7: Femmes Fatales.
I’m also pleased to announce that Meteor House publisher/editor Mike Croteau and I have been discussing future projects and that The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 3, which should come out some time in 2012, will feature the continuation of the Wold Newton Origins series!
In the meantime, keep your browser pointed at www.meteorhousepress.com for the latest news about the forthcoming The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 2: Of Dust and Soul, which is another tour through Farmer’s many worlds, featuring essays by the likes of Charles Platt and James Sallis, stories set in Farmer’s expanded worlds by Spider Robinson, Mary A. Turzillo, and others, and featuring an all new novella by Philip José Farmer & Christopher Paul Carey (“Kwasin and the Bear God”), along with much more by Farmer himself.

Philip Jose Farmer’s THE PEERLESS PEER—a new Afterword!
For several months now, fans of Philip Jose Farmer’s The Peerless Peer have been looking forward to the new edition from Titan Books—part of their wonderful Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series (I’ve been getting them all, even though I already have most of them in their prior 1970s or ’80s editions).
Now, I’m very pleased (okay, ecstatic!) to announce that I’ve been in touch with the kind (and very easy to work with) folks at Titan, and that I’m contributing an afterword to the new edition! I’ve just reviewed the proofs and it looks great.
The release date is less than two months away (June 7), but obviously you can pre-order now!
The New York Review of Science Fiction reviews CROSSOVERS
A review of the two-volume Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World appeared in the January 2011 issue of The New York Review of Science Fiction.
Said reviewer Peter Rawlik: “Eckert’s rules, scholarly style, and knowledge complement one another, and his work is done with such horrible intense love and logic that somewhere along the way it ceases to be flummery and becomes something more. What would seem an impossible task is acheived in a manner that not only entertains but also informs about the original work.”
And: “…Fans of Philip Jose Farmer’s Wold Newton stories and crossover fiction in general have good reason to celebrate. Win Scott Eckert’s Crossovers should be viewed as an essential work of the metafictional canon with value to fans ans scholars alike, placing it next to such standard works as Jess Nevins’s Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana and Shadowmen by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier.”
Crossovers is available:

Completed!
I finished a very short (2,500 words) but very complex piece today. I’m pretty proud of it. It’s out to a couple valued reviewers right now, and should be on its way to the publisher mid-week. Can’t say more right now, but will as soon as I’m able. And yes… simultaneously continuing work on The Green Hornet Casefiles editing. Busy weekend.
