Two Magical Squirrel Stories This Year!

Tue, 14 May 2013 17:53:25 GMT

Every year:

Since 2008, I've been overjoyed to have one of my stories about Cluny the Sorceress Squirrel appear in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress anthology. That streak continues as I just got word from Elisabeth Waters that the next adventure of Cluny and her two familiars, the human Terrence Crocker and the firedrake Shtasith, will be in vol. 28 when it arrives in November.

This year, though, as the title of this post implies, there's gonna be a second Cluny story appearing in print. As some might recall, Cluny and Crocker's first adventure, "Familiars," was reprinted last year in The Ursa Major Awards Anthology. Fred Patten, the editor of that collection, then got in touch with the authors who'd had stories in it and asked if they'd be willing to write direct sequels addressing, as this new anthology will be titled, What Happens Next.

I had to think a minute 'cause, well, I'd already written five subsequent stories about Cluny, Crocker, and Shtasith. But I quickly realized that I'd never written out what actually happened in the immediate aftermath of that first story. So "Immolation," the direct sequel to the above-linked "Familiars" and therefore the second story in this whole series, is scheduled to be published in July--I'll let folks know when it actually appears--and "Where There's Smoke," the eighth story overall and with a plot more than tangentially related to "Immolation," will come out in Sword & Sorceress XVIII--or just plain ol' 28 if you like--at the end of the year.

I really needta fix these all up into a novel, don't I?
