Authors Team up to Fight Oil with Ink

Book View Café has created a benefit anthology, Breaking Waves, to help the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Relief Fund of the Greater New Orleans Foundation.

The collection features over 30 stories by an array of best-selling and award-winning authors. There’s a previously-unpublished Ursula K. Le Guin poem, and a chapter from Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking book The Sea Around Us. Vonda N. McIntyre, Judith Tarr, Deborah Ross, Sarah Monette, David D. Levine, David Gessner, and Lyda Morehouse are among other contributors. Tiffany Trent and Phyllis Irene Radford edited the collection.

“We are delighted to put our experience to work for this important project,” said Sarah Zettel, an award-winning science fiction author and managing director of Book View Café. “What’s happening in the Gulf affects all of us, and we all need to do what we can to help alleviate the burden on the people and the environment.”

The book is available in epub, pdf, mobi, and prc formats in the Book View Café bookstore (http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/Book-View-Cafe-Breaking-Waves) and will be coming to the Kindle bookstore soon.
