My short story, Stand Off, was published in text and podcast by Wily Writers back in 2009. I was honoured when Wily Writers then contacted me and bought the story again to reprint in their first Best Of anthology. This is my first inclusion in a Best Of book, hopefully the first of many.
Night-Mantled: The Best of Wily Writers (Volume 1) is now available from Amazon. Here’s the blurb:
