A quick update while my website redesign is underway.

I'm thrilled to announce that THE MODERN FAE’S GUIDE TO SURVIVING HUMANITY edited by Patricia Bray and Joshua Palmatier was recently sold to DAW books. The Fae are among us. This anthology will celebrate and explore how the Fae have adapted to the modern world and the increasing hordes of humanity that plague it. What if that tall stranger sitting next to you on the airplane is really one of the Fae? What about the CEO that you never see with the office on the top floor full of trees? And what happens when a fairy ring appears in a rooftop garden in central New York City? Joshua and I have lined up a great slate of authors and we're looking forward to our second stint as editors. To be released sometime in 2012.

Speaking of which, our first co-edited anthology will be released by DAW on March 1st, 2011.

AFTER HOURS: TALES FROM THE UR-BAR edited by Joshua Palmatier and Patricia Bray.

The first bar, created by the Sumerians after they were given the gift of beer by the gods, was known as the Ur-Bar. Although it has since been destroyed, its spirit lives on--in each age there is one bar that captures the essence of the original Ur-Bar, where drinks are mixed with magic and served with a dash of intrigue. Heroes, villains, poets and thieves may be found within its walls; when the gods visit Earth they stop by the Ur-Bar for a drink.

Featuring stories by Anton Stout, Avery Shade, Barbara Ashford, Benjamin Tate, D.B. Jackson, Ian Tregillis, Jackie Kessler, Jennifer Dunne, Juliet E. McKenna, Kari Sperring, Laura Anne Gilman, Maria V. Snyder, Patricia Bray, S.C. Butler and Seanan McGuire. Available for pre-order now, or in stores March 2011.
