I’m very pleased to announce I’ll be contributing to a new anthology coming out in August 2013 from Pocket: CARNIEPUNK.

If you haven’t heard of some o’ them, well, that’s why you buy anthologies. :) You get to sample the work of some great writers and maybe find a new favorite. But five of ’em are already NYT Bestsellers and the rest of them deserve to be there—they’re all outstanding. My story is called “The Demon Barker of Wheat Street” and takes place a couple of weeks after the events of TWO RAVENS AND ONE CROW. It features Atticus, Oberon, and Granuaile…in Kansas.

Where the hell did this come from? Well, Hillary Jacques and I dreamed it up one night on Twitter, and once I pitched it to some author friends—”Hey, you guys, let’s write some fucking crazy shit at a carnival!”—they couldn’t wait to mess around with the idea.

While you’re waiting for the anthology, you might want to try some of these authors ahead of time if you haven’t heard of them before. They write great series and you can’t go wrong. Turbo excited—I’ll update with cover art and all those other goodies as it comes in! Yay!
