I’ve started listing the remainder of David Stewart’s hardback books – excluding the ones I’m auctioning at Eastercon in March – on my account on eBay which is called, unsurprisingly, Slovobooks. The books of his I’m selling are:

THE WARRIOR’S TALE Cole & Bunch
YEARS IN THE MAKING L Sprague de Camp
LEARNING THE WORLD Ken MacLeod
THE INVISIBLE COUNTRY Paul J McAuley
OTHERNESS David Brin
ENDER’S SHADOW Orson Scott Card
THE TIME-LAPSED MAN Eric Brown
EYE AMONG THE BLIND Robert Holdstock
EARTHWIND Robert Holdstock
CARPE JUGULUM Terry Pratchett

The proceeds from these book are going towards the David Stewart Research Fund, which is sponsoring a particular project related to Oesophogela Cancer, which David died of in october 2006.

I have about another 200 hardback books belonging to David to sell, so I’ll be putting them up in lots on eBay until I have cleared them all.

Please feel free to direct as many people as you can to these listings, and do consider bidding on one of them if you can.

The other books listed are my own, although you shouldn’t allow this to stop you from bidding on one of those also, if you so choose…

Again, the books I’m selling are listed here

Portadown-based Northern Ireland SF author Darryl Sloan has dropped me a note to tell me that his new book, Chion, a young adult SF novel, was published in January 2007, and is available for purchase through his website.

There is an MP3 excerpt from the book available on his site, and I’ve hopefully copied the link correctly here:

Daryl Sloan has one previous book, Ulterior, which was published in 2002.

The Aeon Award for 2006-2007, brought to you by the wonderful people at Albedo One, is still open for submissions.

The Aeon Award short story competition is designed to promote new writers by raising their profile. But a prize of €1000 for the winner and publication in Ireland’s premier magazine of SF&F for the top three stories – as chosen by renowned SF and fantasy author Ian Watson – doesn’t do any harm either.

The winner will be announced at the upcoming, high profile European Science Fiction Convention in Copenhagen in September 2007. The entry fee is €5 and the contest is open until the end of June next.

More details on the Albedo One website.
