LACE AND BLADE

[deborahjross]

As some of you know, I have been editing an anthology of elegant, witty, sexy, romantic fantasy, called Lace and Blade. It will come out next Valentine's Day from Norilana Books. I just sent the completed manuscript off to the publisher and am quite breathless. And exhilarated. Here's why -- the final line-up:

Virtue and the Archangel, by Madeline E. Robins
The Crossroads, by Diana L. Paxson
Touch of Moonlight, by Robin Wayne Bailey
Lace-Maker, Blade-Taker, Grave-Breaker, Priest, by Tanith Lee
The Beheaded Queen, by Dave Smeds
The Topaz Desert, by Catherine Asaro
Night Wind, by Mary Rosenblum
In the Night Street Baths, by Chaz Brenchley
Rule of Engagement, by Sherwood Smith

Yes, very droolworthy. Each one a gem.

Yep, me too. I'm looking forward to hearing what others have to say, once the ARCs go out!

I'll be buying it!

Fabulous! It should be available for pre-order through amazon.com or Barnes & Noble in January.

That sounds good to me... ^_^

It's hard to convey just how delicious, moving, enthralling these stories are without sounding like I'm reverting to editorial hyperbole. After all, these are stories that pleased ME. But they truly are extraordinary.

In February, we can play, "what's your favorite?"

Well, I know I'm happy to read anything by Diana Paxon or Catherine Asaro... ^_^
