In the next week or so, we — Sarah J. Sover, the good people at Falstaff Books, and me — will be starting a Kickstarter for a new anthology, Disruptive Intent.

Sarah and I will be co-editing the collection. Falstaff Books will be publishing it. And we have a terrific lineup of authors who have committed to submitting stories. The theme of Disruptive Intent is, essentially, stories that have a key element challenging the political/social/cultural orthodoxy of this moment in history. Each story will be accompanied by an author’s note, detailing their intent and their reasons for challenging that orthodoxy as they have. Ever wonder while reading a story, “Did the author mean to do that?” Well, wonder no longer!

We are not yet announcing who our authors are — that will come as we draw nearer to the start of the Kickstarter. But trust me: You’re going to want to read these stories. As for my fellow editor, Sarah J. Sover, author of the Fractured Fae series, is as wonderful a writer as she is a person. She is passionate about this project, and like our other authors, she is committed to writing a story as well as editing. And, for the record, I’m committed to writing one, too.

Our publisher, of course, is Falstaff Books, owned and operated by the shy and retiring (/snort) John G. Hartness. So, you know the book is going to be beautifully produced, reasonably priced, and packed with the sort of innovative, exciting stories for which Falstaff is known.

So, watch this space for updated Kickstarter information and author announcements! And help us meet our funding goal!
