It’s all about the announcements right now. You may remember in a post a few days ago I was talking about great fiction podcasts. One of those I mentioned was Wily Writers. They do great podcasts, with two new stories every month. Well, their first print anthology, called Night-Mantled, the best of Wily Writers Volume 1, is due out in March and I’m very proud to have a story in it. As you can see, the cover art has been released.
Wily podcast my story, Stand Off, back in July 2009. It’s an Isiah short story (the protagonist from RealmShift and MageSign) and I’m really pleased to see it selected as one of the Best Of stories for this book.
Here’s the blurb for the anthology:
