Naked City: New Tales of Urban Fantasy is (pretty much) done

[ellen_datlow]

This is the TOC in the correct order. However, one more story will be in there before the book goes into production and I'm not sure where it will appear in the anthology. This is being published by St. Martin's Press in spring 2010.

I'm "handing" (emailing the file) the book to my editor either today or tomorrow (I'm awaiting a last go over/response to edits from one writer. This one's been a bear and I'm relieved that it's done.

With a lineup of names like that, how on *earth* do you decide which ones to highlight on the cover?

It sounds very cool.

Just imagine me rolling around like a cat hopped up on on nip.

How exciting! How painful to have to wait! What an amazing line-up.

Wow, at least 3 people in there that I would've bought the anthology for all on their own.

But I want it *now*!

What did you do to Peter Beagle to get a story out of him?

[sovay]

Nice . . .

Can't wait for this one-I mean it has "King Pole" in it, which is reason enough, but really, purely lovely ToC. At least the Lovecraft one will keep me occupied for a while. :)

There's one for the Amazon watch-list!

[lenora-rose.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes. That's a line-up. This goes on the wanted list.
