Lace and Blade 2

[deborahjross]

The second volume of this series of elegant, witty, dashing and sexy romantic fantasy is done and will be off to norilana shortly. The final lineup is so delicious, I can't wait to share it:

Rosemary Hawley Jarman, "More in Sorrow"
Mary Rosenblum, "Dragon Wind"
Diana E. Paxson, "The Crow"
Francesca Forrest, "The Biwa and the Water Koto"
Robin Wayne Bailey, "Trial by Moonlight"
Daniel Fox, "The Pillow Boy of General Shu"
Sherwood Smith, "Miss Austen's Castle Tour"
Traci Castleberry, "Rent Girl"
Pauline Zed, "The Baroness' Ball"
Elisabeth Waters, "The Sixth String"
Tanith Lee, "Comfort and Despair"
Madeleine E. Robins, "Writ of Exception"

The discerning LJer will recognize contributions from sartorias, madrobins, tcastleb, moshui, and robinbailey, and perhaps these fine folks might b/r/a/g discuss their work in their own journals. Spread the word -- although the final delights will have to wait for next Valentine's Day.

If you enjoyed the first Lace and Blade, you will love this one, too!

Everyone, say hi to new writer paulinezed who is making her literary debut in Lace and Blade 2.

I'm so pleased that so many incredibly talented writers have responded so enthusiastically to this project. That tells me that there is such a hunger for truly romantic stories, adventures of the heart and spirit. Although the publisher, norilana is small and new, the book is produced with loving care, and I am sure that time and word of mouth will develop a wide audience for this kind of tale.

Yay! And may it prove a gift you each give the other, as well.

Thrilled indeed to be publishing this one! A huge thank you to Deborah for another stellar editing job! :-) And a not-so-sneaky reminder to everyone, while you wait for the second volume, you might want to grab a copy of the first volume currently available, Lace and Blade (http://www.norilana.com/norilana-leda.htm#laceandblade)!
