If you're brave enough to fly

The cover for Ticonderoga Publications’ anthology Kisses by Clockwork (which features my story Escapement) has been revealed!

Isn’t it pretty?

The anthology is being launched in June, you can preorder a copy now here.

The table of contents for the Ticonderoga Publications anthology Kisses by Clockwork, edited by Liz Gryzb, has been announced:

• Marilag Angway, “Smuggler’s Deal”
• Cherith Baldry, “The Venetian Cat”
• Gio Clairval, “The Writing Cembalo”
• M L D Curelas, “Ironclad”
• Ray Dean, “Practically Perfect”
• Stephanie Gunn, “Escapement”
• Richard Harland, “The Kiss of Reba Maul”
• Rebecca Harwell, “Love in the Time of Clockwork Horses”
• Faith Mudge, “Descension”
• Nicole Murphy, “The Wild Colonial Clockwork Boy”
• Katrina Nicholson, “Lady Presto Magnifico and the Disappearing Glass Ceiling”

• Amanda Pillar, “A Clockwork Heart”
• Angela Rega, “The Law of Love”
• Carol Ryles, “Siri and the Chaos-Maker”
• DC White, “South, to Glory”

I am most pleased about this sale, because Escapement is one of a twinned set of novellas/novelettes that explore a new world – a kind of twisted post-apocalyptic steampunk world – for me.  I very much look forward to the release of the anthology in April.

It is with much squee that I can announce that my story, The Skin of the World, will be appearing in the upcoming Ticonderoga Publications anthology Bloodstones, edited by Amanda Pillar.

For those following along with the patchwork quilt of my writing worlds, The Skin of the World is a prequel to the novel I’ve been working on (which is currently in a very messy draft that needs to be stripped to the bone), The White Raven, and also takes place in the same universe as Narthex, which was published in In Bad Dreams 2: Where Death Stalks.  Yes, I like having interconnected stories!

Here’s a little peek into how awesome this is for me – not only do I get to work with Amanda again, who is an amazing editor (she was co-editor for Grants Pass), but there’s also this: a few months ago, I sat down and started making a list of goals I’d like to achieve with my career, including some of the publishers that I’d like to sell stories (or longer works) to.  And Ticonderoga was on that list

The awesome table of contents:

• Joanne Anderton, “Sanaa’s Army”
• Alan Baxter, “Cephalopoda Obsessia”
• Jenny Blackford, “A Moveable Feast”
• Vivian Caethe, “Skin”
• MD Curelas, “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”
• Thoraiya Dyer, “Surviving Film”
• Dirk Flinthart, “The Bull in Winter”
• Stephanie Gunn, “The Skin of the World”
• Richard Harland, “A Mother’s Love”
• Pete Kempshall, “Dead Inside”
• Penny Love, “A Small Bad Thing”
• Karen Maric, “Embracing the Invisible”
• Christine Morgan, “Ferreau’s Curse”
• Nicole Murphy, “Euryale”
• Jessica Otis, “And the Dead Shall be Raised Incorruptible”
• Dan Rabarts, “The Bone Plate”
• Erin Underwood, “The Foam Born”
