I have, of course, spaced the name, but there's a DKM/Jodi story in the
new hardcover anthology of -- well, it's among the oddest of concepts
for an anthology I've seen in some time. Stories written as first-hand
accounts of the H.G. Wells Mars Invasion from the perspective of
artists of the day. The Morans do Mark Twain. It's IMHO not a great
piece of work (sorry...); the story is nice but it doesn't really feel
like Mark Twain. Of course, they're competing with Philip Jose Farmer,
whose concept of the man has dominant brainshare for me.
