Shadow Plays Anthology - upcoming release

[andrewmck]

...a shadow may cast a man as often as a man casts a shadow...

The Shadow Plays anthology now has a new website (http://elidan.site.net.au/index.html) to coincide with its upcoming release on 21st April.

Described by editor Elise Bunter as twelve original stories that "cover the spectrum of darkness and light, fear and wonder, intrigue and adventure", Shadow Plays looks like it has turned into exactly the sort of anthology I'd want my first published story to appear in... and it does!

First, look at that marvellous Les Petersen cover! It is very different to any of Les' work I've seen before, and I love it!

And then, there is the author listing:

• Ashley Arnold - The River Man's Spirits
• Brendan D. Carson - The Omensetter and Hu Lijing
• Sarah Drummond - The Red Curtains
• D.H. Duperouzel - Of Wind and City
• Richard Harland - Musgrave
• E.J. Hayes - Crystal and Iron
• Ren Holton - Bab and Anusha
• George Ivanoff - Nigella and the Clockwork Man
• Penelope Love - Whitey
• Andrew J. McKiernan - Calliope: A Steam Romance
• Robert J. Santa - A Jury of Peers
• Nigel Stones - When the Black Crow Flies

It all looks like Elise has done an excellent job of bringing this anthology together and I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it. I hope you are too :)

Shadow Plays will begin shipping April 21st, but you can pre-order direct from the website now:

oh wow, I'll have to check this one out, to see what other stories were chosen along with Calliope, because even your first draft of that was wonderful! Congratulations *g*

Thanks, Eneit! Hopefully Calliope is even better now. Elise was a wonderful editor to work with and she really helped strengthen the story, I think.

Congrats! My 5 year old thinks the cover looks like Wombat Stew. Heheh

Wombat Stew? The children's book?

Yes. It has a billy can in it to cook the stew. I think she thought it looked like that.
