Seeing the early reviews come in for Grants Pass is incredibly exciting for me, because while this may be my second anthology by publication (Ravens in the Library was first), it's my first anthology by invitation, acceptance, and—most importantly of all—"normal" publication process. Ravens was slammed together in an incredibly short amount of time, and never had the normal cycle of ARCs, reviews, and nail-biting. Grants Pass is letting me experience the process in all its glory.
This is the second review I've seen. It's also the second review to point out my story, "Animal Husbandry," as being made of win. So that's a pretty encouraging sign that perhaps my compulsive neurosis has served my short fiction well. I'm really excited to see this book. The editors were amazingly cool to work with, the entire process has been a joy, and the author list is super-exciting. I'm still a little stunned to be on it.
Grants Pass is so gonna rule, I swear.
