[CT] New collection of fiction, short non-fiction

[Dan Moran]

"A Freeway In My Back Yard."

We're still putting it together - it takes its title from the first
piece I did for the old NPR show "The Way In," about having the 60
freeway built in my back yard when I was a boy. So far, some of what's
going to be included is:

About a dozen NPR essays, 4 or 5 essays from other sources.
Essay about "The Ring"
Speech given to the coalition for networked Information in 1995
"Driving to San Antonio"
"On Writing" - article some years ago about the process of writing
fiction.
"A Faster Darkness"
About a dozen poems
"A Day in the Life of a Telephone Pole" - first short story I ever sent
off, when I was 12.
"The Sun Shines on Metal" - last story I sent off before my first sale.
"All the Time in the World" - first sale, Asimov story with Georges &
Jalian
"The Gray Maelstrom"
"Realtime"
"A Thousand Shades of Gray" - Realtime sequel, never published.
"On The Boulevard of Dreams"  -- originally this was the final third of
"The Armageddon Blues." Amy made me cut it - she was right, it's a mess.
"Given the Game"
"In Cool Blood" - the short story, not the novel.
"A Moment in Time" screenplay
"A War in Time" sequel outline & notes on the novel "The Revolt of the
Angels"
"Kevin and Uncle Danny" - screenwriting exercise.
"5-Minute Brick" - screenwriting exercise.
"Star Wars: Empire Blues"
"Star Wars: A Barve Like That"
"Star Wars: The Last One Standing"
"Roughing It During the Martian Invasion"
"On Sequoia Time"
"Left Behind: A Tale of the Continuing Time"
 "The Sheriff of Shokes"
"Spiderman Kevin Stout Moran" - story about my little boy Richard, who
one day when asked his name answered, "Spiderman Kevin Stout Moran."
"The Golden People: A Tale of the Continuing Time" - With Karl Martin
"A Rage of Stars: A Tale of the Continuing Time" (story about Marcus,
from "Left Behind")
"The Stopping Point: A Tale of the Continuing Time"
"The Mechanism of Desire: A Tale of the Continuing Time"

And possible various other assorted pieces of non-fiction, as I go
through my writing over the years and see what's not too dated to bear.
Almost everything listed above is finished, with the exception of
"Sheriff of Shokes," "Golden People," and "Mechanism of Desire" - so I
may end up backtracking on those.

It'll probably end up in 2 volumes and I don't promise it'll be in the
order listed above or anything remotely like it. There won't be a
limited edition and there may not be a hardback; it may be a trade
paperback only. I don't know who'll publish it, though we'll talk to
QuietVision first because of the relationship over there. If we end up
self-publishing, I'll be happy to sign copies.
