As you may already know, the Tor edition of Hugo-nominated shared-world anthology METAtropolis — featuring novellas by Elizabeth Bear , Tobias Buckell , John Scalzi , Karl Schroeder , and me — comes out on June 8th. We're having a contest to give away five copies of the book, one on each of our blogs. Which means after you enter here (contest closes on June 7th and winners will be announced on June 8th), you can enter on the other four author blogs for a pentagonal path to glory. Yes, five chances to win a free book! My contest here . (One place only, for the sake of my chemo-addled sanity.) Bear's contest here . Toby's contest here . John's contest here . Karl's contest here .
