There's some big, big anthology news around these here parts!

Who loves Rose Marshall? Who wonders what she's doing? Who can't wait for next year's release of her first big adventure, Sparrow Hill Road? Well, if the answer to any of those questions was "me," I think you'll be pleased: Coins of Chaos is available now, and features a brand new Rose Marshall story, "Train Yard Blues," in which Rose has a ( Read more... )

So there's this anthology coming out in March, called Tales from the Ur-Bar. Every story takes place in a different location and time period, and by the time I was invited to the anthology, my usual time periods had all been taken, leaving me with the early 1900s. Everyone assumed I would write steampunk. I wrote gaslamp instead, which is a ( Read more... )

I appear to have accidentally set myself a "get a piece of short fiction published every month of the year" goal in 2011, with short stories confirmed for January, February, March, and now April. That pretty much takes us through my current backlog, although I have a few possibilities for May and June, but, being me, I still find it hysterical. ( Read more... )

They say some stories will never die,
Well, she died back in fifty-three,
