I know a lot of our members — especially the editors and publishers — are busy gearing up for Anthrocon, so I’ll keep this as short as I can. Happy travels to all heading to Pittsburgh, and may you have awesome sales, a great time, and a lack of con crud!

Check out Mary E. Lowd’s “Weremoose” in Untied Shoelaces of the Mind.
Huskyteer also has a poem in Apex and a story in Heat #11 (another issue that features some familiar names — you’ll also find stories there by members Tempe O’Kun, Whyte Yoté, Dark End, and Kyell Gold).
Bill “Hafoc” Rogers’ story “The Language of Emotions” has been featured on the Anthro Dreams podcast. Give it a listen!
Also new from FurPlanet for AC is James L. Steele’s novel Huvek, as well as the anthology Anthropomorphic Aliens (edited by associate member Fred Patten).
Besides the new issue of Heat, Sofawolf Press’ Anthrocon debuts include new novels from Kyell Gold (Uncovered) and M. C. A. Hogarth (The Godson’s Triumph).

One last question…
Which of the new releases are you most looking forward to reading?
