Anthologies for pre-order!

Hey hooray, it's ANTHOLOGY TIME! I love anthology time. And I have stories in two upcoming anthologies, both available for pre-order now!

First up is Home Improvement: Undead Edition, edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni Kelner. This is my first-ever hardcover publication, and I am so excited I'm flailing. What's more, this is the first time a Toby short story has actually been printed. Yes; my story in this is a Toby piece.

"Through This Houses" chronologically bridges Late Eclipses and One Salt Sea. It isn't required reading; you can skip it, read the books, and be totally happy. But if you do, you'll miss Toby shoving May off a cliff, Quentin being awesome, killer pixies, and the house telling everyone to get out. Home Improvement: Undead Edition will be published August 2nd, and can help take the edge off your need for more Toby Daye.

Second is Human For A Day, edited by Jennifer Brozek and Martin Greenberg. This is Jennifer's first DAW anthology, and I couldn't be prouder to be a part of it. What's more...

Who read Tales From the Ur-Bar? Good. And who remembers Mina Norton, my cranky little gaslamp alchemist bartender with the seasonal monarch issues? Better! Well, Human For A Day contains my second Mina Norton story, "Cinderella City," in which she and the King of Summer ("James" to his friends) team up with the incarnate city of San Francisco to stop all of California from tumbling into the sea. Human For A Day will be published December 6th, and needs to grace your shelves.

And that's my publication news for today. I will now resume preparing frantically to leave for San Diego. Shower time!

I just had a birthday, wherein many of my loved ones gave me my most important thing: books.
I have a must-read-now stack that is over 20 books tall.
I have a to-read list that is over 100 books long.

And yet, I just hit "purchase" on my Amazon cart...
Surprisingly, Amazon UK have them both listed so I have pre-ordered (they are getting pretty good at listing coming books now). I don't know how I missed "Tales from the Ur-Bar" but I've ordered that as well.

(That's the trouble with word-pushers, they keep producing more 'product' to feed our addiction *g*...)
It is our job, dear... ;)
Wow, two short stories coming out? Today is a good day. Until work hits.
Yay!
How had I maanged not to hear about Ur-Bar? Bought and will be devoured quickly, I'm sure, lol
I do not know!
*preorder*
*preorder*
Have fun stormin' the castle, I mean, At Comicon!
Thank you!
These sound awesome. Can't wait!
I'm excited.
Tales From the Ur-Bar?

(holding copy of the book up to the computer screen)
That is correct!
Home Improvement? I'd bet a thousand dollars Wilson's house is zombie proofed.
Heh.
Home Improvement: Undead Edition will be published August 2nd, and can help take the edge off your need for more Toby Daye.

And here I was afraid I'd have nothing to buy from Larry Smith at Worldcon! 8-)

(After I exchange my hard-earned $$ for a large stack of books at Confluence this weekend.)
Rock on.
QUENTIN BEING AWESOME. Sold.
He does it well.
Killer pixies sound fun.

I shall make an addition to my to-read list.
Excellent.
Can't pre-order because the cash flow is not strong with this one, but this will remind me to buy when I can. I've been enjoying a lot of anthologies of late, and it's great to see you in more and more of them.
It pleases me, too.
Tales From the Ur-Bar was delightful vacation reading and was a welcome respite from the bloodthirsty clouds of mosquitoes. I like Mina Norton a lot.
Yay!
An anthology with your work and Patty Briggs' in it can only be a very excellent thing.
Glad you think so. :)
I have two copies of Home Improvement: Undead Edition coming next week. Sure, I won't get them until I get back from Pennsic August 14th, but they'll be waiting for us! Two copies because both Cora (my 12 year old) and I are prone to re-reading, especially your stuff, and so yeah, we require two copies of all of your books :-P
Rock on.
