“Tachyon shocked me early in my career by offering to publish a collection of my short stories. Was I interested? Of course. I put together sixteen stories, which you guys published as STANDARD CANDLES in a boxed edition with exquisite artwork by Michael Dashow. Jacob Weisman was the editor, and we had a moving introduction by Charles Sheffield. It had the effect of encouraging me to write more short fiction at a time when I thought I’d run out of ideas. Thanks to all.”
