Once again George R. R. Martin is working on too many side projects instead of finishing Dances with Dragons. Sorry George, I'm joking, I remember you getting a little ticked about fans nagging you for Crows. Anyway, he and Hugo winning editor Gardner Dozois are compling an anthology of novellas based in Jack Vance's Dying Earth universe-to be entitled Songs of the Dying Earth and Dan Simmons is on a very impressive list of invited contributors: Glen Cook Michael Shea Terry Dowling Robert Silverberg Phyllis Eisenstein Dan Simmons Ray Feist Jeff Vandermeer Neil Gaiman Paula Volsky Elizabeth Hand Howard Waldrop Matt Hughes Liz Williams Tanith Lee Tad Williams George R.R. Martin Walter Jon Williams Michael Moorcock John C. Wright Mike Resnick
It will be Dan's first effort at a true fantasy based work. And you can find a topic on almost all of these contributors in our Gen. Sci Fi and Gen. Fantasy forums.
We'll keep you posted on the book's developement and Simmon's end product
