Fantastic Books, publisher of last year's Hugo nominee Jar Jar Binks Must Die, will publish the anthology David Sklar and I coedited, Trafficking in Magic, Magicking in Traffic.

It's been a long wait for us, and for all the authors who've graciously allowed us to hold onto their stories as we worked to secure a new publisher after Drollerie Press folded. Long enough, in fact, that we're not sure all the email addresses we have for all our authors are still current. If you have a story in the anthology and you're seeing this announcement here, but you haven't yet received an email from us or from Ian Randal Strock of Fantastic Books, please contact David or me.

The ink is dry on the editors' contract. Once the ink is dry on the authors' contracts, we'll be able to announce the final line-up of authors and stories. As soon as I know anything about a release date, cover art, and all that stuff, I'll be announcing it here.

So I saw this post and I thought, "When this is all finalized we could all celebrate by driving someplace and having a ritual." David immediately said Columcille, which was also my first thought. But maybe the Jersey Shore, or perhaps even the Garden State Parkway. I will leave the obsessive astrological scheduling of such an event to you, since you are probably an expert after your last story. But a photo session with matchbox type cars and ritual items could be fun.

After all the horological astrology in the Ria story, the thought of consulting an ephemeris again makes me vaguely queasy.

Columcille, however, is awesome, and I'd love to see all the kids running around among the standing stones. Matchbox cars in the labyrinth would be Just Right.

I am so happy for you guys. I totally know what an epic, frustrating, bizarre undertaking it's been.
