Waifs and Strays (Viking, hardcover, October 2002) is my first Young Adult collection, gathering stories written throughout my career that feature teenage protagonists. Here you'll find tales set in Newford and in Ottawa, in high fantasy and near future settings, and in Bordertown, too. Some have appeared in other collections, but many of them are from more obscure YA anthologies and magazines, with one new novelet, "Sisters." The cover art is by John Jude Palencar.
For readers who don't live in North America, there are no plans for a foreign edition of this collection at the moment. But happily with the Internet, it can be readily ordered and shipped anywhere in the world.
Waifs and Strays was nominated for a 2002 World Fantasy Award.
