Special Announcements
A new collection by Michael, A Few Last Words for the Late Immortals, has been published by Kudzu Planet Productions/Fairwood Press. This retrospective collection of fifty short pieces (thirty-four stories, fifteen poems or prose-poems, and one play about writing SF) spans the author's entire career, from "Asytages's Dream," written when he was in college, to "Yahweh's Hour," an acerbic but moving work of science-fantasy political satire composed in 2020. It includes five never-before-published works, and many that are previously uncollected. The collection was edited by Michael H. Hutchins, with a new introduction by Sarah Pinsker and cover art by Josef Barton.
Copies are available from the publisher, Amazon and other booksellers.
Michael was inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame on Monday, November 5, 2018. Here he is accepting the award with his wife, daughter, and granddaughter.
