Crunchy With Ketchup Preliminary Cover Reveal

It may not quite be finalized in all details, but boy, is it handsome! And production schedules are not firmed up either, but we know by now that that’s pretty much par for the publication game in general. As announced today by Editor Carol Hightshoe: ­I’m attaching the preliminary cover for the anthology — you are free to promote — as forthcoming since I don’t have a solid release timeline yet. It’s worth a full-width spread though, is it not?

My part in this is “The Bala Worm” (cf. June 6), a longish tale of modern-day Wales and ancient monsters via legends going back to the Middle Ages. Dragons do, of course, guard treasures — but still, would you really want to find one?
