I was wondering when I'd get a chance to announce this one! I'm absolutely delighted to be part of a new anthology of SF stories based on Grimm's fairy tales entitled... The Grimm Future.

What a fine cover it has! What a great line-up that includes our own Maura McHugh ( splinister ), as well as a number of other writers whose work I have long admired. I'll list the scribblers below, but first I want to thank hatgirl who critiqued my own tale, "The Madman's Ungrateful Child", and Erin Underwood, the editor and all-round fabuloid.
