Tesseracts (Tesseracts (Paperback))

Product Description Each year Tesseract Books chooses a team of editors from among the best of Canada’s writers, publishers and critics to select innovative and futuristic fiction and poetry from the leaders and emerging voices in Canadian speculative fiction. This is the anthology that started it all! Featuring fiction by Élisabeth Vonarburg and Hugo and Nebula award winning authors Spider Robinson, and William Gibson. Review "The reader who ventures into Tesseracts territory is assured of meeting some of our most able and gifted writers in surroundings that are at once wholly strange, and wholly familiar." - The Globe and Mail -"This anthology merits inclusion in any comprehensive collection, and it rewards the curiosity of the casual reader as well." - Locus Magazine - From the Author Hi, I'm Rhea Rose, one of the author's in this collection of science fiction and fantasy short stories.  My story is called "Chronos' Christmas" and you can find that science fiction story here. If you google you can find the story available on other sites,too. My story was nominated for the Aurora Award (Canadian award) the year this collection was published, but I lost to Judith Merril who was also nominated  and won for this collection. I was happy to see her get it! After all she did select my story for this, the first book in the Tesseracts legacy.  Over the years my stories have appeared in many other of the Tesseracts collections.  I'm hoping I can get Amazon to post the cover copy here, as they have for this one.  About the Author The late Judith Merril is considered one of the most prolific authors and editors in the field of Science Fiction.
