The Voice of Ender, and Albrecht Entrati, among other things.
Now I want to plant one and spend the rest of my life tending it while I pray .
By sheer chance, Master Alvin (the Tales of Alvin Maker finale) and Writers of the Future volume 42 (with a new story by OSC) both launch today, 4/28. Writers of the Future 42 will, like its predecessors, be the best anthology of new fiction of its year. WoF is where the careers of great new SF and Fantasy writers begin, as the field of speculative fiction continues to reinvent itself. You can order the anthology here: a.co/d/00720kdB
MASTER ALVIN is the finale to a series that truly began forty-five years ago, in 1981, with a poem. This last & seventh volume contains “Prentice Alvin and the No-Good Plow” in its entirety (as well as the story of how it came to be). For fun, here’s the opening stanza: “Alvin, he was a blacksmith’s prentice boy, He pumped the bellows and he ground the knives, He chipped the nails, he het the charcoal fire, Nothing remarkable about the lad, Except for this: He saw the world askew, He saw the edge of light, the frozen liar There in the trees with a black smile shinin cold, Shiverin the corners of his eyes. Oh, he was wise.” a.co/d/026R50ZI
MASTER ALVIN #audiobook OUT NOW! In the thrilling finale to @orsonscottcard's Alvin Maker series, Alvin must use his extraordinary powers to keep the people of Crystal City safe from darkness Full cast ft. @StefansEcho, @GiftoGab & more! @MacmillanAudio downpour.com/products/book-…
For completists (and those thinking of starting the series for the first time): MASTER ALVIN’s publication will be accompanied by a re-release, in trade paperback ONLY, of the earlier volumes in the series — and several will now incorporate the standalone Alvin Maker short stories that were published throughout the years. The bonus material will be included in Books 3-6 (Prentice Alvin, Alvin Journeyman, Heartfire, and Crystal City) and will appear in each book approximately where they occurred in the timeline of events in the saga. Below are the links which will take you to their Tor (Macmillan) pages, where you’ll find links to all booksellers where the reissued trade paperbacks (5” x 8” size) will be sold. (Heartfire is not quite ready to ship, but will be soon). us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504… us.macmillan.com/books/97812504…

Ender’s Game is what I’m known for, and gratefully so. But it may be The Tales of Alvin Maker through which, if you tell me you’ve read them, I feel most known. Master Alvin, the final book of the series, will be out this Tuesday, April 28. Thank you to those who’ve patiently waited, and those who have eagerly prodded… and all who’ve taken these stories to heart and made them finer for being there.
