How I Chose the Books
for
The Philip K Dick Award Storybundle!
by
Lisa Mason
As
a 2016 PKD Award judge, I had access
to the master list of Finalists and Winners going back to 1983, when the
award was inaugurated.
When
Storybundle agreed to do a Philip
K Dick Award Storybundle comprised of Finalists and Winners, I researched the authors on that list.
I chose these authors and books because they meet the following
criteria:
1. They weren’t dead (that’s a joke);
2. They have an ebook of their Philip
K Dick Award Finalist or Winner;
3. They and their publishers were technically able to participate
in StoryBundle’s DRM-free environment.
You would be surprised how many authors going back to 1983
couldn’t meet those simple criteria, including the first.
I’m delighted and thankful for this list. I’ve read all of the
authors’ works, often first as magazine stories, and met several at conventions
and parties. I truly encourage you to enjoy these wonderful books as much as I
do.
So
there you have it, my friends. The Philip K Dick Award Storybundle includes
Aestival Tide by Elizabeth Hand
(PKD Finalist), Life by Gwyneth
Jones (PKD Winner), The Cipher by
Kathe Koja (PKD Finalist), Points of Departure by Pat Murphy (PKD Winner), Dark Seeker by K. W. Jeter (PKD Finalist), Summer of Love by Lisa Mason (PKD Finalist), Frontera
by Lewis Shiner (PKD Finalist), Acts
of Conscience by William Barton (PKD
Special Citation), Maximum Ice by
Kay Kenyon (PKD Finalist), Knight Moves by Walter Jon Williams (PKD Finalist), and Reclamation by Sarah Zettel
(PKD Finalist).
The Philip K Dick Award Storybundle runs only until October 15. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
