The first story for our 2026 Hard SF, invite only, anthology "The Glorious Melancholy of Urgency" has arrived from E J Delaney. It is a "banger" as the kids say. He sets the bar very high for the other authors who I know will be of the same caliber. More info in 2026. Front cover image by Liuzishan.

Copies of "Mmeory" have arrived from the printer. I'll begin packing them tonight and shipping to KS backers and pre-orderers this week and next. (If you'd like to pre-order - aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...) Thanks all for the support this year. We'll go out of 2025 with a 'mmeorable' bang.

My spec cover for a reprint if ever allowed. Do seek out the Ace Doubles copy of the book if you want a great short novel you can read in one sitting. Just packed with ideas.

A small thread on a book I'd love to reprint if I ever got the rights to it - "Crown of Infinity" by John M. Faucette. I've tried to contact his estate over the years but to no avail.

Publisher side quest: Due to minimum postcard print runs, AaN had a lot of leftover cover postcards from "Fathoms in the Earth" (aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...). Chopped a big stack in half today to make nifty/quirky/colorful bookmarks.
