2nd eCollection is up!
I was so very tempted to quote Britney Spears as subject line. You're welcome.
So... a second e-collection up! One story less than Nights of the Round Table but still about 44,000 words. (Two stories are over 8K) I'm cramming a short story deadline set in the Quarters mythos plus trying to get major wordage in on the not!Napoleonic werewolves so rather than babble at you, I'm just going to let February Thaw and Other Stories of Contemporary Fantasy speak for itself while I go back to work. Okay? Cool. Links at the bottom.
February Thaw and Other Tales of Contemporary Fantasy is the 2nd e-collection by Tanya Huff and brings together some of the short fiction that helped define the field. From an Imperial Dragon in Toronto's Chinatown, to a heavy metal retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, to the realization that the ancient gods are one highly dysfunctional family, Huff skews our world slightly sideways. These seven stories with brand new introductions by the author, remind us that the weird and the wonderful is all around us if we only bother to look.
