Fiction River: Spies

Posted on Posted in New Releases, Short Stories, Workshops Tagged with , , , , , , ,

Hi everybody.

I’ve got some exciting news.

No, I’m not actually going to recommence posting on a regular basis like I promised in the past, to at least get the podcast episodes caught up.

Well, I am. Promise. But no, this is something else.

You may, or may not, recall a couple years ago I made my first professional sale at the Anthology Workshop I go to each year, which is put on by WMG publishing. I was pretty psyched about that sale, as you can imagine.

I actually made another sale to them a month ago at this year’s workshop. And if I’d bothered to post about it, you would know that already. Sorry. I will get better.

Anyway, it took a while, but that first anthology is out! Its official publishing date was this Friday, 29 March 2019.

It’s called Fiction River: Spies. It’s edited by the not just famous, IN-famous, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and it’s pretty awesome.

In this third Fiction River Special Edition, award-winning editor Kristine Kathryn Rusch proves a master of intrigue with a wide variety of spy stories. Ranging in tone from satire to serious, from touching to brutal, from light to oh-so-very-dark, these fifteen stories illuminate the secret world of espionage. Despite their different tones, different cultures, even different time periods, these diverse stories form a powerful anthology that reveals the world in all its messiness.

“…high quality throughout.” —Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine on Fiction River Special Edition: Crime

I don’t just say that because I’m in it. There are a dozen or so other writers with stories in this book, and I’m not being falsely modest by saying they blow me out of the water.

Great writers, and a bunch of great, fun stories.

Go pick up a copy and see for yourself. I think you’ll be glad you did.

In case you’re wondering, I made a video and podcast about this too.

Enjoy!
