Very proud of all these books and authors, quite a few of which are showing up on the various Best of 2008 lists online. And I’m very pleased as well that quite a few entries from Fast Forward 2 are showing up in the various Year’s Bests’ table of contents. And though it wasn’t Pyr, the other anthology I edited in 2008 was the alternate history mystery, Sideways In Crime, and very proud of it too I am.
Onward to 2009!
