Two very cool things make a post!

HOME IMPROVEMENT: UNDEAD EDITION debuts at #28 on the NYT! OMG! Huge thanks to all who bought *Does the Major Happy Dance*

My little story - Full-Scale Demolition - is in some awesome company, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be included, thanks so much to Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P. Kelner.

*hands round celebratory Bubbly and Cake for all* 

And in a semi-related sort of way (hey, it's about books *g*) here's a very cool trailer for Harry Connolly's fabulous Twenty Palaces books. It's got fantastic special effects. Plus over on his blog Harry's got some great 'Behind the Scenes' posts about how the trailer was made.

My little story is in an anthology with my writerly hero, the awesome Charlaine Harris, and her wonderful Sookie Stackhouse*!! *Does the Snoopy Happy Dance*

Why does she do this to me every time?

Oh, well, might as well ignore her . . . maybe she'll leave me in peace then

Three pics? C'mon, this is really too much for one Hound to deal with. Where's my biscuit?

Click to embiggen and read the start!! :-D Yay! I do so hope everyone enjoys my first Spellcrackers' story! I had lots of fun with it, and I loved this tale of Genny's where we get to see her before the events in The Sweet Scent of Blood, along with a certain kelpie *g*

And I can tell you every story in this book is FAB-U-LOUS! So many great ones, and my little tale is keeping them company! Wow! Just Wow! *faints*
