I just received my contributor's copy of Witpunk, the new anthology of comic science fiction edited by Claude Lalumiere and Marty Halpern, which should be on shelves now. The anthology includes I Love Paree, a whacky Heinlein pastiche that I co-wrote with the brilliant writer Michael Skeet (fittingly enough, we inaugurated the collaboration at Judith Merril's wake at the Bamboo Club), which has been out of print for a couple of years now. Also in the anthology are stories by Bradley Denton (just about my favorite comic sf writer, ever since his brilliant Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede), Pat Murphy, James Morrow, Paul Di Fillipo, and Nina Kiriki Hoffman (a reprint of the fantastic "Savage Breasts").
Witpunk is out!
