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.

Oz!

Both Sarah and I had the same reaction to this, which is No, we'd never thought about it before. But now we MUST read about it! Congratulations, and we're looking forward to the story. Also, we hope the trilogy sees print someday.
I must confess that my reaction was "No", and on consideration remains even more "no" than my fingers could imagine typing.
And that is entirely fair; the statement was meant in fun, as I don't actually believe everyone thinks the way I do 100% of the time.
Well, of course not. The world would be boring if everyone thought the same about everything, plus all the good snacks would be gone.
I hope so, too.
