Last July, I sold a story<\/a> to Genius Loci: Tales of the Spirit of Place<\/em>, an anthology edited by Jaym Gates. Now it’s time to make that anthology a reality.<\/p>\n

And making it a reality is up to you.<\/p>\n

A couple of hours ago, Jaym launched a Kickstarter campaign for the project<\/a>, which includes more than thirty stories by Seanan McGuire, Ken Liu, Andy Duncan, Alethea Kontis and others. But there are also all sorts of neat rewards in addition to the book itself.<\/p>\n

When I started writing this post, I thought I’d be able to tell you that one of those rewards was the handwritten first draft of my contribution, “And the Trees Were Happy”—but I now see that those pages have already been snapped up! Don’t worry—there are still plenty of other bonuses that can be yours if you choose to help fund Genius Loci<\/em>, such as Wendy Wagner’s grandmother’s WWII cookie recipe or an hour-long writing class over Skype with Sunil Patel.<\/p>\n

I hope you’ll check out the Kickstarter campaign<\/a> and help bring into print a poignant story of mine which has gotten me verklempt all three times I’ve read it aloud in public. Because there are a whole lot more people out there who need to be made weepy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
