James Patrick Kelly writes: “Crazy Jim Kelly starts an ezine on Nook and Kindle with nothing but his own stuff in it! Artist extraordinaire John Picacio humors him.”
Well, that’s the teaser. In more rational terms, he says, “I’ve launched a new ebook ‘zine called James Patrick Kelly’s Strangeways, currently available on the Kindle and the Nook. Each issue will contain reprints two of my best stories and two essays and some bonus material. Number 1 includes my multiple-award-losing novelette ‘Plus or Minus’ and one of my personal favorite short stories, ‘The Propagation of Light in a Vacuum,’ the only work of mine to contain a recipe! Also an essay introducing the ‘zine and another discussing our chances of reaching the stars. And the cover—the dazzling must-see cover is by John Picacio—revised from the art that graced the December 2010 Asimov’s. I’m about to send Number 2, with a time travel theme, to my designer, the amazing Pablo Defendini; it will include my 1990 Hugo winner ’10^16 to 1′ and another quirky short ‘Unique Visitors.’
“I’ve had my face pressed against the window of the various ebook stores for some time now; this is how I figure to get on the other side. If you’re a fan of the work, please pass the word!”
