Short Fiction by Linda Nagata

[deborahjross]

I've known Linda for an embarrassingly long time, since we were each getting started with our careers, and I've loved her thoughtful, inventive science fiction. I'm so glad she's bringing out her back list through Book View Cafe. Now here's a sampling of her best short stories as well. You'll notice that many of these are from quite a while ago. To me, one of the most exciting aspects of epublishing (and Book View Cafe in particular) is preserving out-of-print work. Magazines are ephemeral, and so many wonderful tales are lost or not readily available.
