Now that it’s official, I can spill the beans. I’ve sold a story to Gordon van Gelder for Welcome to the Greenhouse, a climate change anthology due out early next year.

Climate change—or rather, preventing it—is a topic close to my heart, and I am thrilled to be included this anthology. My story is a post-apocalyptic vision of an old man living amid the ruins of civilization, ready to follow his wife (and the other 99.9% of humanity) into death…whose life is changed forever when a young woman he meets just won’t take extinction for an answer.

I’ve asked Gordon to send me a list of the writers included in the book. When he does so, I’ll post their names and story titles if available.

30 Nov 10 Update: Here’s the line-up, with my best guess as to the authors’ websites (corrections eagerly encouraged). Great list!

“Benkoelen” by Brian W. Aldiss
“Damned When You Do” by Jeff Carlson
“The Middle of Somewhere” by Judith Moffett
“Not a Problem” by Matthew Hughes
“Eagle” by Gregory Benford
“Come Again Some Other Day” by Michael Alexander
“The Master of the Aviary” by Bruce Sterling
“Turtle Love” by Joseph Green
“The Delta Queen Comes A-Calling” by Pat MacEwen (can’t find a link for her, but she is a forensic anthropologist who has published short fiction in F&SF Magazine)
“That Creeping Sensation” by Alan Dean Foster
“The Men of Summer” by David Prill
“The Bridge” by George Guthridge
“FarmEarth” by Paul Di Filippo
“Sundown” by Chris Lawson (I think this is him…even if not, though, you should check it out)
“Fish Cakes” by Ray Vukcevich
…and, of course, “True North” by moi.

The book’s publisher, O / R books, is an alternative small-press publisher who, as I understand it, sells works only through their own website. As soon as the book is available to order, I’ll let y’all know.
