As I mentioned once upon a time last month, one of my short stories was accepted into an anthology that was put together by some of the moderators of Holly Lisle’s writing forums.   Well, there was an official press release on Monday, and with it came the cover image – though still no news as to who received 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in the contest.  I will continue to keep fingers crossed.  But in the meantime, my short even got mentioned in the blurb!  So, without further ado, here’s what was released:

35 marvelous short stories by gifted new writers

Follow a girl to the Below-World to slay the Sharkshadow, or help a timid girl to overcome the destructive criticism of her art teacher. Witness a solitary drone on Mars or a naive homunculus struggle to become human. Sew with a mother who lost her daughter in a quilt, defeat super-villains in a bank robbery with an unlikely superhero, or join a great mage in the fire.

In thirty-five imaginative stories, emerging authors present the diversity of their creativity. Each author found a different angle for the unifying theme: The Adventure of Creation. Witness the talent nurtured by writing teacher, Holly Lisle. For the 5th anniversary of her first big writing course, How to Think Sideways, this anthology features the best of her talented students in a great variety of genres.

The eBook and print book will be released on the 24th of July. Help us spread the word.
