Anthologies 'r' us
Sep. 22nd, 2018 03:36 pmI have stories in two anthologies (under two different pen names) this month!
My urban fantasy short story "Gilt and Glamour" appears in the newly released anthology It Happened at the Ball, edited by Sherwood Smith. This is a feel-good anthology of stories set in ballrooms, described thusly by Sherwood at Book View Café:
Last summer after yet another wave of bad news, I found myself longing for escapist feel-good wish-fulfilment, and what is more indicative of escapist wish fulfilment than a ballroom filled with grand costumes, beguiling music, intrigue and romance?
"Gilt and Glamour" is set in the Gatekeeper universe (the same world as Wayward Myths). A pair of freelance monster hunters find magic and intrigue and maybe a little bit of romance as they try to catch a pooka at a New Year's ball in Gilded Age New York. You wouldn't think it would be hard to find a horse in a ballroom. At least, I wouldn't have thought so until half an hour ago ...
The anthology is available at most major online retailers:
Amazon | B&N | Kobo | Apple Books | trade paperback
Two Mates For the Dragon is M/M/F bisexual poly romance involving humans and (shapeshifting) dragons; I'm one of six participating authors. Here's the teaser blurb for my story, "Heart of Stone":
Tess's dragonslayer husband David is dying, and her only hope is to seek help from David's ex-boyfriend, a dragon who runs a hot springs resort.
You can read a preview of my story in the "look inside" at the Amazon link.
