This is an old hat (the title has been out a long time now) book teaser for volume 5 of my Twisted Tails anthology series. I'm preparing to do another anthology soon and will be looking for writers -- in case you're interested. Remember this: Anthologies are not a way to make money, but they are publishing credits. Also bear in mind that only a small percentage of submitted material can make the cut, so it's a painless way to get a feel for being rejected.

@pixiedust -- Currently back burner and working out the details project, but I can tell you it will be in the urban paranormal, lighthearted vein. For word count I give a rather generous spread and set restrictions like this: If you can tell a compelling and legitimate story in one word, do it. If it needs 20k, have at it. If it's a shit-hot story, I'll consider an even longer work, but I think it a waste of energy and time for something like an anthology. As for the specific theme, I haven't nailed that down as yet.
I also have not decided whether to put this one into the Twisted Tails run or go with a different publisher to generate a new series. Give me a few weeks to chew on it. When I have my info pack put together, I'll include deadline. Again, I'm usually pretty lenient on deadlines and don't like to put too much pressure on. We shall see.
Because of the nature of anthologies and the restrictions on time at the assembly end, I play GOD and use a slash and burn editing technique most of the time. If I find that something might be gained by a little one on one, I'll do it -- but reluctantly.
@evidentialist I will definitely watch for your updates.
