What gets me is it looks to me as though there was some effort made to solicit stories from women writers -- I mean, Maureen McHugh and Eileen Gunn are not (alas) hugely prolific, so I'm guessing they were asked for stories. But it's a bit pointless doing that if you're then going to slap a boy's own cover on the thing.

Not hugely prolific, and not as good, either.


Eileen Gunn
Ellen Klages
Ysabeau Wilce
Maureen F. McHugh

Wouldn't be a lot of people looking twice at that list, in big letters, if you want to go the other extreme.

Jones, sure, maybe. I really like her books, does she have US appeal?

I very much enjoy Klages work. With new stories from her and Ford, I had planned on buying this puppy.
