I picked up Spaceman Blues:A Love Song  by Brian Francis Slattery over on Tor.com  this morning.  It is free and downloadable in several formats.  Did I mention it was free?  You do need to register on the site but it takes no time and Tor is not bad about spamming your in-box.

The Lone Star Stories Reader is available for pre-order from Amazon.  It’s an SF/F anthology of stories reprinted from the Lone Star Stories Website.  Martha Wells’ Wolf Night (cowboys and werewolves – so cool) is among the stories featured in this anthology.

And speaking of Martha Wells, she writes in her blog,

“The Rosenberg Library web site is back up, and they have paypal donation buttons on the front page for both the general library fund and the children’s library fund, to repair damage to the building by hurricane Ike.

My offer is still open:

If people were inclined to paypal or send them a check for $25 or more, and then let me know that you had done that, I would be happy to send you a signed and personalized hardcover copy of Wheel of the Infinite. (ETA: I sorted my closet yesterday and I do have some hardcovers of The Wizard Hunters, The Ships of Air, or The Gate of Gods if you want one of those.)

Or for a $10.00 donation you could choose a signed and personalized paperback copy of Stargate Atlantis: Reliquary or Stargate Atlantis: Entanglement. (Or both for a donation of $20.00)

Just drop me an email at msw at charisat.com, and let me know what your donation was and when you sent it, which book you want, the name you want your book personalized with, and the address I should send it to.”

The Library is located in Galveston and the hurricane did a lot of damage to the ground floor and the book collections so if you are looking for somewhere to drop a few charity bucks, this is a good cause.  Plus, you know, you get a Martha Wells book.
