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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanis 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\" .
