Hi, this is David Barr-Curtley, host of Geeks Guy into the Galaxy.

Just want to make sure everyone knows that my first book, Save Me Please and Other Stories, is available now on Amazon.com, and that Save Me Please with Please spelled PLZ.

This book collects 20 of my best short stories, along with 13 illustrations and more than 40 pages of

authors' notes explaining how the stories came to be written and published. All of these

stories previously appeared in some of the top markets for fantasy and science fiction, including

magazines such as realms of fantasy and weird tales, and books such as new voices in science fiction

and fantasy of the best of the year. Over 100 people have bought the book already, so huge thanks to everyone who's done that.

I had a really fun conversation about the book with John Joseph Adams, Tom Gorenzer, and Zach Chapman back in episode 500,

so definitely check that out if you missed it.

So again, the book is called Save Me Please and Other Stories by David

Barkertley, and it's available now on Amazon.com. All right, so now let's get to our show.

Wired.com presents the geek's Guide to the Galaxy.
