| 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
