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

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.

KGB photos and more

Here are last night's photos from KGB--James Morrow and Laird Barron read to a full house.

KGB Fantastic Fiction reading for February

And to remind everyone--the Shirley Jackson award fund raising raffle will wind up Monday at midnight. One of the items is a signed copy of Laird's first collection, THE IMAGO SEQUENCE plus the mss of a new novelette--from which Laird read last night--it sounds terrific! Laird plans to publish it first in a second collection (unless we editors can pry it loose for ourselves first)--so you'd be getting first look!

Twists of the Tale back in print

The Wildside trade paperback edition of Twists of the Tale is now available. The cover image on amazon is wrong but here, at BN.COM it's correct.
