You can pre-order the double issue (and back issues) at Electric Velocipede online.
We shouldn’t fool ourselves into mistaking the world as we experience it for the world as it really is.
The two are related, but the relationship is complicated, and it’s real work to figure it out.
@Popehat We're never going to change their hearts and minds if we treat this kind of conduct as a bad thing.

“the…novelist, who seeks to confer or receive amusement from his labours, may, without presumption, apply to prose fiction a licence, or rather a rule, from the adoption of which so many exquisite combinations of human feeling have resulted in the highest specimens of poetry.”
Jeff Bezos being lionized by rote, thoughtless coverage for going to space privately, decades after we did it first collectively, speaks of the ethos of an age: we've come to venerate what we do alone and sneer at what we do together.

Yeah, too bad my table manners are atrocious.
Seriously, I’m delighted, too. And the cover looks terrific.

Just found out!
Dear Bob,
I’m so bad at keeping up with my friends’ blogs that I just found out about the Electric Velocipede publication about 20 minutes ago. I just ordered the issue (not without difficulty, as they (Paypal) didn’t like my Visa card. And I am really champing at the bit!
EV is caviar and your short fiction is caviar, I await with bated breath. (If I had said “baited breath,” that would have been a mixed, mangled metaphor, but I didn’t.)
