I've just learned that the moon belongs to everyone, a story that Michael wrote with k.c. ball will be published in an anthology, the eagle has landed! they were working on a sequel when Michael died.

further details as I learn them.

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare

Awesome.

I'll have an extra when I'm toasting 50 years after the Eagle has landed.

oh gosh, where has the time gone? the book's been out for some time. I don't know what versions are actually available. the copy sent to me by the publisher is a paperback. 24 wonderful stories.

OMG! Yes I'll definitely buy this. <3 (Edit: have it on kindle now yay!)

I have a collection of KC Ball's short stories on my Kindle, too. They're a hecking amazing writer, and I can imagine how well they and Michael worked together.

kc was an amazing writer and funny as heck. alas, she became quite irked with me and dropped me after I did not follow her advice and move to seattle after Michael died. I will be forever grateful to her for the joy that she brought to Michael. when I told her that Michael was not doing well she immediately drove down here. I will always treasure the expression on his face and the note of wonder in his voice when he saw her walk into the house.
