Cover Reveal: FAE

Posted by on May 21, 2014 in anthology:story, Blog | 2 comments

Isn’t it weird how you can wait months and months for things to happen, then everything happens at once? That’s how it’s ended up with these anthologies and cover reveals.

I’m delighted to show off the cover of FAE, which includes my story, “The Cartography of Shattered Trees.”

FAE

Meet Robin Goodfellow as you’ve never seen him before, watch damsels in distress rescue themselves, get swept away with the selkies and enjoy tales of hobs, green men, pixies and phookas. One thing is for certain, these are not your grandmother’s fairy tales.

Fairies have been both mischievous and malignant creatures throughout history. They’ve dwelt in forests, collected teeth or crafted shoes. Fae is full of stories that honor that rich history while exploring new and interesting takes on the fair folk from castles to computer technologies and modern midwifing, the Old World to Indianapolis.

Fae covers a vast swath of the fairy story spectrum, making the old new and exploring lush settings with beautiful prose and complex characters. Enjoy the familiar feeling of a good old-fashioned fairy tale alongside urban fantasy and horror with a fae twist.

With an introduction by Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman, and all new stories from Sidney Blaylock Jr., Amanda Block, Kari Castor, Beth Cato, Liz Colter, Rhonda Eikamp, Lor Graham, Alexis A. Hunter, L.S. Johnson, Jon Arthur Kitson, Adria Laycraft, Lauren Liebowitz, Christine Morgan, Shannon Phillips, Sara Puls, Laura VanArendonk Baugh, and Kristina Wojtaszek.

A is for Apocalypse: Cover Reveal + Giveaway

Posted by on May 13, 2014 in anthology:story, Blog | 5 comments

If you’ve read some of my short stories and poetry, you’ve probably noticed I write a lot about the apocalypse. My weird little brain had obsessed about the subject as long as I can remember–the first dream I remember from age three was about the world being destroyed in a flood, and the only safe place was Food King. (That Food King was razed in 2001. My hometown is now doomed.)

Since I already write a lot about the end times, I was really excited to be invited to the A is for Apocalypse anthology. It was the perfect match. I was assigned the letter D.

Here is the awesome cover. The book is set to come out this fall!

AisforApocalypse

What do you get when you take twenty-six amazing writers, randomly assign them a letter of the alphabet and give them complete artistic freedom within a theme?

A is for Apocalypse

A is for Apocalypse contains twenty-six apocalyptic stories written by both well-known and up-and-coming writers. Monsters, meteors, floods, war–the causes of the apocalypses in these tales are as varied as the stories themselves.

This volume contains work by Ennis Drake, Beth Cato, Kenneth Schneyer, Damien Angelica Walters, K. L. Young, Marge Simon, Milo James Fowler, Simon Kewin, C.S. MacCath, Steve Bornstein and more!
