The story I've been working on instead of the novel this last couple of weeks? Is sold.

Ego-boo, and more useful information
Oct. 9th, 2007 10:43 pmIt has been represented to me that I neglected to mention the name of my short story, and this is true; it is called "In the Night Street Baths" (after - oddly for me - going through several other titles in the process of getting written. Usually I like to write to title, but this one, well, when I started I had no notion there were or would be any baths in it. By the time I got to the end, they were kinda crucial...).
Meantime, as a comment to my previous post about the story, the editor -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deborahjross - said nice things about it, and then divulged more useful information about publisher and ordering and other contributors and stuff, which I thought I ought to reproduce in a proper post, to make sure you all see it:
"Chaz's story is wonderful, edgy, compassionate, sensual, exploring extraordinary depths in the human heart. All in utterly delicious prose that sings like poetry.
"Lace and Blade will be released next Valentine's Day from Norilana Books. You'll be able to pre-order (through any bookstore that deals with Ingram, or amazon.com or Barnes & Noble) in January. Please support this project, as it is from a small publisher.
"Other stories include two very different Spanish highwaymen, one from Mary Rosenblum, the other from Robin Wayne Bailey, Diana Paxson's Umbanda (Brazilian native magic), a wise and loving beheaded queen from Dave Smeds, and brilliant wit, courtly romance, mystery and derring-do from Sherwood Smith and Madeleine Robins. I'm currently waiting on 3 more stories but will keep mum on who they're from until I have them in hand. Suffice it to say, this book is shaping up to be a feast for the mind and heart."
Me, I have an inkling who those other writers are, but this is already a list I'm proud to be a part of.
