It finally has been snowing and acting like January!
My friend Anne has created a website for a new science fiction anthology. Here is her description:
"Rackstraw Press was created in response to the Terrorism Act of 2006 - the controversial ban on the glorification of terrorism in the UK.
This Act is opposed by people from many political parties as an attack on free speech. Government protests that it will only be used if someone directly incites terrorism have been regarded as implausible by lawyers who point to the many other laws which currently cover this action.
Science fiction is a political genre. There are many science fiction writers who have already written novels and stories which could be considered in contravention of the law.... If you care about free speech, have a look at rackstrawpress.org "
