Trouble in The Office

Yip-yip-yippee!

While working on some dreary reports early last week I wondered when the Alfars would announce the TOC for Phil Speculative Fiction 3. Then, as if the universe was plugged directly to my brain, I got an email from an author-friend, congratulating me for getting in the antho. Turned out Dean posted the TOC in his blog already, and when I got to see the whole list, I was ecstatic to see some of my all time favorite authors (like FH Batacan who wrote the seminal Smaller and Smaller Circles, and Sarge Lacuesta, who broke my heart again and again with the White Elephants collection-- because it was depressingly beautiful) as well as new exciting writers. It's quite humbling, really.
