Two new anthologies out today!

[jl_merrow]

Yup, it's London buses time again!

Suitably for Halloween, both are paranormal-themed:




My story in Mine (m/m anthology) is a light-hearted vampire tale:

Leeches and Layabouts
For a garlic farmer, getting turned into a vampire could be the worst thing that could happen. Then again, it might just open up some intriguing possibilities!

And in Taken (m/m/f anthology), we're away with the fairies:

Changeling
When did a young woman ever listen to her father warning her of the dangers of her young man? But Meg's got more reason than most to beware of the boy she's set her heart on, for Adam's a changeling, left by the fae in place of a human babe. What'll happen when he meets his kin - and the boy whose place he took?


I'll be posting excerpts of both of them on the Torquere Social LJ tomorrow! :D

Congratulations! And I love the sound of "Changeling". I don't suppose it's possible to get your story without getting the whole anthology? (You should definitely think about bringing out a collection of your own short stories. I'd buy that like a shot.)

Thank you! I'm afraid Changeling isn't available to buy singly, but you can read a snippet from it here.

I'd love to have an anthology of my stuff - I'd just be terrified no one would want it! ;D

Thank you! It sounds lovely - you've definitely caught the fairy-tale feel with it.

I'd buy an anthology of yours, so there must be other people who would too :)

Actually, I second what Alex said. I want to read L&L, but to be honest I'm not all that interested in the whole anthology. I'm not a fan of vampire stories (I find them often very silly) but your story sounds great. I suppose I'll cave 'cos I want to read it, but I'd love an anthology of your short stories too!

Aw, thank you! *beams*

Actually, Mine is very varied. I haven't finished reading it yet - too busy writing! - but so far I've found a werewolf, a dragon, a devil and an oriental supernatural guardian. And only one other vampire, apart from my one!
