Thanks I've been waiting, credit card in hand. It's great to see so many hatrackers in print and I can't wait to read all of them.

Here's a review from Publisher's Weekly:
quote: L. RON HUBBARD PRESENTS WRITERS OF THE FUTURE VOLUME XX Edited by Algis Budrys
The human element remains at all times paramount in the 15 SF stories gathered in the 20th edition of L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future series, at this point the most enduring forum to showcase new talent in the genre. Standouts include Eric James Stone's eerie "In Memory," whose hero, a brilliant mad physicist, exists as a disembodied computer image; Joy Remy's poignant "Sleep Sweetly, Junie Carter," in which a bedridden woman feels helpless in her near-immortality; and Jonathan Laden's disturbing "Monkey See, Monkey Deduce," in which a multibodied monster is actually a tribe of chimps, with an imposed common memory, at the mercy of human researchers. Brief essays on writing by Hubbard and contemporary giants such as Robert Silverberg and Kevin J. Anderson round out the volume. The series continues to be a powerful statement of faith as well as direction in American science fiction.

Whoa, Eric, pointed out first by Publisher's Weekly? Time to treat yourself to a big ol' ice cream sundae! Congratulations again!
Edited because Sunday and sundae are not the same thing.

FYI, a fine picture of our Hatrack WOTF winners (with some other WOTF's thown in for good measure ) is on Page 80 of the September '04 Locus.
