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.
I love short stories, but I really hate buying whole anthologies full of authors I don't know. it feels like to much of a gamble (I've been burned a few to many times where it feel like i only like one short story in the whole book that cost me $15) but I would totally buy a book full of your short stories, just saying. You should totally put one out some day.
In this case, you can actually buy the stories as "singles."
There are a lot of factors that play into whether an author puts out a short story collection, including "how long are those stories under contract to somewhere else." I do not currently own the rights to reprint most of my short fiction, and won't for years.
