Pubbb-lication! We like Publication--

(Yes, I still carry the suffocation song in the back ends of my brain after all these years.)

Two stories made available today: thanks to kazdreamer, I can definitively tell you that The Mammoth Book of Extreme Fantasy is available in the UK. As you may recall, this is the one with fifteen kinds of cool people and then my "Lost Wax" off in the corner, wondering how the hell it snuck into this party.

Brits, pick it up! North Americans, you can't have it until August 4th, so envy the Brits some but consider a pre-order. *g*

The second is actually a free publication, so you can all have it right now: "Bell, Book, and Candle", which is in Clockwork Phoenix, the anthology that has cornered the market on awesome reviews this past week, has been posted at FantasyBookSpot as the "teaser" story for the anthology. So you can read this one gratis, and if you like it, here is the link for that book. It, too, is full of people much cooler than me. Funny how this works.

(If you don't like it, of course, you are welcome to come back here and throw rocks.)

Enjoy!

Your roads were heavy, and your longings were cut from bone.
