I've been sitting on this for a month

I've worked with Ekaterina Sedia ( squirrel_monkey ) twice before, on "Comparison of Efficacy Rates for Seven Antipathetics As Employed Against Lycanthropes" (in Running with the Pack) and "Coyotaje" (in Bewere the Night). Now that I have the go-ahead, I'm delighted to say that I have sold her a third story, this one without any shapeshifters in it whatsoever: "False Colours," a novelette in her upcoming anthology of YA Victorian romance, Wilful Impropriety: 13 Tales of Society and Scandal.

You can read more about the anthology here. The table of contents looks pretty awesome:

THE DANCING MASTER by Genevieve Valentine
THE UNLADYLIKE EDUCATION OF AGATHA TREMAIN by Stephanie Burgis
AT WILL by Leanna Renee Hieber
STEEPED IN DEBT TO THE CHIMNEY POTS by Steve Berman
OUTSIDE THE ABSOLUTE by Seth Cadin
RESURRECTION by Tiffany Trent
MRS BEETON'S BOOK OF MAGICKAL MANAGEMENT by Karen Healey
THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND by Sandra McDonald
FALSE COLOURS by Marie Brennan
NUSSBAUM'S GOLDEN FORTUNE by M. K. Hobson
THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER by Barbara Roden
MERCURY RETROGRADE by Mary Robinette Kowal
THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS by Caroline Stevermer

As for "False Colours"? Well, a select few among you may recall a certain character named Lt. Ravenswood . . . yeah, this is that story. The rest of you will have to wait and read it for yourself -- I wouldn't want to spoil anything!

I'll post a release date when I have one.
