Some of you may remember that Starship Sofa did an audio podcast of my Hugo and Locus Award-nominated novelette, "It Takes Two." They didn't and don't charge listeners. (Listen to it here. It starts at 14:48.) They can do that because every year they solicit donations to keep them going. This year, in service of that goal, they're selling a selection of nifty anthologies. Actually, it's just one anthology, but it comes in a variety of formats.
The story of mine that included in this collection of fabulousness isn't "It Takes Two," it's "Songs of Bullfrogs, Cry of Geese." Here's the full list of contents for the plain text digital edition:

There's the edition with illustrations, that one with author photos (no, not of our sad faces--of our work space), the one with the extra special extras (I include a song--yes, me singing, about being very, very stoned in Amsterdam...), the one that has extras and is signed.
