Original Stories Based on the Songs of Janis Ian


AUTHORS PREFERRED EDITION


Janis Ian and 30 top science fiction writers team up to create an astonishing book of original short fiction. STARS  is a huge anthology in both volume and talent. Each story, available only here, is based on a Janis Ian song  that meant something special to the author, who then wrote the story expressly for STARS, creating a meld of jazz, prose and science fiction found nowhere else —a treasure trove for fans of both SF and Janis Ian! Also, this edition of STARS features an original new story by Michael Swanwick, “For I Have Lain Me Down on The Stone of Loneliness and I’ll Not Be Back Again” based on “Mary’s Eyes,” a Janis Ian song that has always moved him to tears. 


STARS was compiled and edited by Mike Resnick and Janis Ian and includes stories by Nebula winners and science fiction greats such as Joe Haldeman, Jane Yolen, Gregory Benford, Orson Scott Card, and more.  It also includes Ian's first original story, "Prayerville."


As Janis herself says, "The stories have heart. They have life. They have truth. They move me. As an artist, I can ask for nothing more."  


Janis Ian began her career as a singer-songwriter in the 1960s with "Society's Child." In 1975, she won her first Grammy Award for the self-penned song, "At Seventeen." Since then she has had #1 hits all over the world, sold more than 10 million albums, and had her songs recorded by such diverse artists as Bette Midler, Roberta Flack, and John Mellencamp. She shows no signs of slowing down, recently beginning yet another career as an audio book narrator (which earned her a ninth nomination and second Grammy in 2013 for Society's Child: My Autobiography). Among her current projects are The Tiny Mouse, her first children's book; a series of master classes with the Stella Adler School; tours of Europe, the United Kingdom, and Japan, a young adult novel, and a series of new recordings.
