Looking ahead to the October publication of one of Britain’s bestselling Science Fiction writers, Peter F. Hamilton’s first short story collection in thirteen years, Manhattan In Reverse, Pan Macmillan is running a Peter F. Hamilton artwork competition in conjunction with SFX magazine. Two lucky winners will see their jacket designs adorn special eBook editions of two stories from the collection.
Manhattan in Reverse takes us on a journey from a murder mystery in an alternative Oxford in the 1800s to a brand new story featuring Paula Mayo, Deputy Director of the Intersolar Commonwealth’s Serious Crimes Directorate. Dealing with intricate themes and topical subject this top ten bestselling author is at the top of his game.
Pan Macmillan will be releasing two short stories from the collection in eBook format a month early. SFX online and Pan Macmillan are looking for jacket designs for both stories. Pan Macmillan have provided cover briefs, with contributions from their senior designer, from Peter’s editor Julie Crisp and from Peter himself, together with a design template and submission guidelines. The two winning designs will be selected by a judging panel that includes Peter, his publishing team at Pan Macmillan and SFX staff.
Peter said ‘There’s so much promising design talent out there and I’m excited to see how my stories are interpreted.’

I'm wondering when the second part of your interview with Bakker will be posted. Thanks!
All right. I have nothing to do with your post. Though I often do, as I have fun at your site. Basically I'm crashing your party because I can't find a contact button. You are a review God. So I'm asking you to shine a little light on me, and review my second book, Rebirth. It's a stand alone. It's just been published through Platte River Press. It's a little indie, fusion/dark urban fantasy up against a wall with a twist. Here's the back cover blurb:
Gavin Lewis can’t help but try to save the world. So when visiting his sardonic best friend Topher, Gavin finds a naked girl exhibit, he assumes she is homeless and needs help. He takes her back to Topher’s to take care of.
What he doesn’t know is that she is a magic imbued, reborn ancient Celt, and Annie, the anthropologist necromancer who raised her from the dead, wants her back.
The three of them, with Gavin’s sister, must fight off Annie’s sending’s as she tracks them across the country. Along the way, they each learn there is more than one way to be reborn.
