Earthquake Fundraiser: Tales for Canterbury
I have donated a short story, The Fountain, to the “Tales for Canterbury” anthology being put together by Cassie Hart and Anna Caro as a fundraiser for the Canterbury earthquake.
The latest news on this exciting project is that pre-orders are now open with a digital version projected to be available from mid-April, and the print edition closer to the end of April. To pre-order, head over to Random Static, where you will find the pre-order information.
To keep track of updates on publication, check in on the “Tales for Canterbury” website and Facebook page for regular updates:

I understand “Tales for Canterbury”will comprise an impressive line-up of New Zealand and overseas writers—and this is also a fundraiser for earthquake-riven Christchurch so get in there, pre-order, and support Christchurch getting back on its feet.
I’m really looking forward to getting my copy! It’ll take pride of place on my bookshelf.
I am going to try and persuade a few folk to buy them as gifts—I thought ‘I can give a few as gifts’ and then I thought: I’m donatng a story, I’ve already donated cash money via the launch-a-thon, and I live in Christchurch in a house that is not unaffected by its earthquake experience—which all makes my buying copies as gifts seems a bit counter-productive. So I am going to ask others others to do so! 🙂
Random Static will have a table at ConText during the Sunday morning Traders Market 9am-11am.
Copies will be for sale there.
Ah, good to know, Jan.
