Following on to this story, in which John Grant announced the sale of a long novelette to the forthcoming anthology Sky Whales and Other Wonders, he has now sold the entire “mosaic novel” Leaving Fortusa to Norilana Books. The publisher calls it “a mind-blowing dystopian novel in ten episodes of the future of humanity,” and expects to publish in hardcover this Autumn.
Grant is author of more than 70 books, of which about 25 are fiction, including novels such as Albion, The Hundredfold Problem, The Far-Enough Window, and The Dragons of Manhattan. His “book-length fiction” Dragonhenge, illustrated by Bob Eggleton, was a finalist for the Hugo Award in 2003.
He is editor of New Writings in the Fantastic and the co-editor, with John Clute, of The Encyclopedia of Fantasy.
His nonfiction writing includes The Encyclopedia of Walt Disney’s Animated Characters, Discarded Science, and Corrupted Science, and is currently at work on Bogus Science, on a book about film noir, and on “a cute rhyming book for kids about a velociraptor.”
