It is with much squee that I can announce that my story, The Skin of the World, will be appearing in the upcoming Ticonderoga Publications anthology Bloodstones, edited by Amanda Pillar.
For those following along with the patchwork quilt of my writing worlds, The Skin of the World is a prequel to the novel I’ve been working on (which is currently in a very messy draft that needs to be stripped to the bone), The White Raven, and also takes place in the same universe as Narthex, which was published in In Bad Dreams 2: Where Death Stalks. Yes, I like having interconnected stories!
Here’s a little peek into how awesome this is for me – not only do I get to work with Amanda again, who is an amazing editor (she was co-editor for Grants Pass), but there’s also this: a few months ago, I sat down and started making a list of goals I’d like to achieve with my career, including some of the publishers that I’d like to sell stories (or longer works) to. And Ticonderoga was on that list 🙂
The awesome table of contents:
- Joanne Anderton, “Sanaa’s Army”
- Alan Baxter, “Cephalopoda Obsessia”

- Nicole Murphy, “Euryale”
- Jessica Otis, “And the Dead Shall be Raised Incorruptible”

Bloodstones will be released in October 2012.
