Hi Ann, I don’t think the EDF crew has sent out the notification to their authors yet (I haven’t received it by email yet, but they plan to send final copies of our stories out this week for us to approve), so I just found out from their forum announcement (actually, from KC Ball’s reporting their forum announcement on her blog).

Let me be the first to congratulate you on inclusion

Bill,
How did you get this info? Have I deleted a missive thinking it was just the day’s story? I’m glad I had a google alert on my name. That’s how I found you and this great news.

Thanks Deven, I’m glad you liked Priority Won as it isn’t to everyone’s taste. I do think it’s my best flash story, though.

I’m really looking forward to reading these stories again in print (not that I’ve read all of them) to see how the experience is different, nice that we will be ‘preserved’ in such a way.

Congratulations, Bill! I too liked “Cloudcutter”, but am very happy that “Priority Won” made it; dystopian stories are had to do in flash because of the depth the world needs to be. You did it wonderfully.
It is great to share the TOC with you.

Thanks Nik. Glad you liked ‘Cloudcutter’ enough to think it warranted inclusion as well, as it’s one of my favorites.
