I’m incredibly excited to present to you … Face the Strange, an anthology of amazing stories I’ve edited along with my daughter, Brigid, and introduced by Dean Wesley Smith. Mayhem, destruction, and domination. Cooperation, friendship, and even love. When strangers from vastly different backgrounds collide, the potential fallouts are infinite. Within these pages you’ll find […]

This is the last of a series about the Anthology Workshop run by Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith, a week-long look into the inner workings of traditionally published short fiction. The first post in this series outlines the event itself and provides links to the rest of my discussion, so if you’re new […]

The first post in the series outlines the event and provides linkage to the entire series of posts. The […]

This is the fourth post of a series I’m doing about the Oregon Coast Anthology Workshop, which is an 8-day immersion into the world of traditionally published short fiction. The first post in the series outlines the event and provides linkage to the entire series of posts. The workshop is intense and multi-faceted, so if […]

As noted earlier, I’m doing a series of posts on the Oregon Coast Anthology Workshop. This is the second of the set. The first post noted that my daughter (Brigid Collins) and I are editing an anthology in the Fiction River series (it’s titled Face the Strange and it’s going to be awesome!). It also […]
