Elizabeth Bear recently posted about a new Ukrainian speculative fiction anthology at Kickstarter.
Heads up about a very cool Ukrainian SFF Anthology!
The project is focused on Ukrainian and diaspora writers, all translated into English.
I enjoy supporting artists where I can, particularly those in such difficult situations.

I’m interested in seeing the current and future world through new perspectives.

Sign me up.
Here’s a link to the project.

As regular readers of the site know, Tuesday is my busiest and least fun day. Usually, anyway. Today I am pleased to support a Kickstarter by a fellow Writers of the Future cohort member.*
Death and the Taxman – A Novel by David Hankins (illustrations by Sarah Morrison)
The Grim Reaper, trapped in an IRS agent’s dying body, must regain his powers before he faces Judgement for his original sin.
Did I love the short story? I did. Am I looking forward to the full novel? Yes, indeed. And are Sarah Morrison’s illustrations a captivating riot of color, character and motion? They are!
If humor and good writing and fun fantasy are your thing, check out this Kickstarter!
* Yes, another one. What can I say, they’re awesome.

I belong to SF Canada, Canada’s professional speculative fiction organization for writers and others. A post popped up on the forum from another member, about a Kickstarter he was doing for the Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction. I particularly liked the fact that this is Volume One.
Yes, please.
Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume One by Stephen Kotowych
I backed it. So did a lot of other people, if the fact that the campaign funded in 45 minutes is any indication. It blew through five stretch goals and I imagine the creator is furiously dreaming up new rewards right now.
It’s a good problem to have. Can’t wait to see the results, and I hope that Volume One is the first collection of many.
