... some about my work, others just plain delicious. This week's round-up:

The latest Sword and Sorceress, just released, includes my story, "Pearl of Tears." It's a companion piece or reflection of "Pearl of Fire" from S & S XXII. The narrator, and the consequences of her actions, wouldn't leave me alone. The anthology is available in ebook and print editions from the usual places.

From Book View Cafe, a delicious and awesomely wonderful anthology of "author's favorite" stories (edited by me and Pati Nagle). "From the fantasy and science fiction of our roots to steampunk, romance, historical and mainstream; from humor to life’s hardest challenges, across the spectrum from light to dark. Stories by Ursula K. Le Guin, Vonda N. McIntyre, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and many more." Here's the link to order it or download a sample story. The Table of Contents:

You may notice a couple of new names on that list, members who have not yet officially "launched." Tomorrow Book View Cafe officially includes the Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust as our first institutional member. This means that BVC will be making many of Marion's out of print works available, possible through an inventive, collaborative and pioneering author-run publisher.

While you're at the Book View Cafe site, check out the other two new releases, The Complete Lythande by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Wolverine's Daughter by Doranna Durgin. And Mad Science Cafe, edited by me!
