The Feathered Edge is out!

Some years ago, I began editing anthologies, "sitting on the other side"
of the editorial desk, as it were. I had a wonderful time, made a ton
of mistakes, did a lot of things right, made some splendid friends, and
had even more fun inviting writers I'd long admired. But the publishing
world is bumpy and unpredictable, and I found myself with a completed
anthology and no publisher -- and a climate in which I got told over and
over, "no one is buying anthologies."



But I did not give up. For
one thing, this one was so splendid, so delicious -- funny,
heart-breaking, romantic, derring-do-ish, action-packed stories from
amazing writers -- that I could not simply walk away from it. Judith Tarr, one of the contributors, called it, "lovely lush fantasy." So I got stubborn. And kept trying. And...
