The difference between a princess and a wicked witch can be very hard to see.
I am absolutely delighted to announce that my story, "Emeralds to Emeralds, Dust to Dust," will be appearing in the anthology Oz Reimagined: New Tales from the Emerald City and Beyond, edited by John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen. It will be available in February 2013.
Let's be honest here. You've always wanted to see a grown-up, embittered, lesbian Dorothy living with her girlfriend (Polychrome, naturally) in the slums of the Emerald City, solving crimes with the aid of her trusty gourd Friday, Jack Pumpkinhead, haven't you? Well, now you can.
And yes, this is the story that inspired me to start working on a dark urban fantasy Oz trilogy. Because sleep is for the weak, or something.
Which reminds me to mention that I just finished my first complete reread of the Newsflesh trilogy, and it's even better reading them all in one swell foop. I think I got more of the nuance and foreshadowing and all that kind of wonderful stuff this time.
On the other hand, I had to have something more innocuous set aside to read at bedtime, because, well, zombies and bloggers and politics oh my - not good for the sleepin'.
