Opportunity For Collectors!
Steven Brust and I co-wrote an urban fantasy called The Gypsy back in 1992. We had a lot of fun writing it together, in fact, I’d say it was one of the most enjoyable writing experiences of my life. The book incorporated snatches of song lyrics that Steve had co-written with Adam Stemple, then part of Boiled in Lead.
A few years after the initial publication, Steve and Boiled in Lead put out a lovely multi-media CD. It not only contained the complete text of The Gypsy, but also included all the songs as performed by Boiled in Lead. It was, if you would, Steve’s first venture into the realm of E-books.
Now, if you would care to possess a copy of that CD, you have an opportunity. A group of friends of editor Terri Windling have put together an online auction for her benefit. One of the items available there comes from the collection of Ellen Kushner and is a copy of The Gypsy on CD.
You’ll need to act fast as the auction only goes until December 15th! Good luck on your bidding.

Here’s the link to this item in the auction offer of “Gypsy” – which now also includes a signed copy of the hardcover along with the CD:

Thank you, Ellen! I was having a bit of trouble locating it on the site, but perhaps that was because I got caught browsing all the wonderful things there.

Megan, I added some items into the Magick4Terri auction with a Gypsy set that included the long-lost data side of the project. I passed along a copy to Steve last week; would be happy to send a copy to you as well. BTW The Gypsy CD is still available from our website and from Amazon.
Hi Drew!
Oh, please do reply here and add a link to the CD on your website! (I currently feel cranky with Amazon.)
And I will repost it at the Robin Hobb site. It was gratifying to see the response this generated for Terri’s auction.
