We've started a Thunderclap for Athena's Daughters 2, an anthology about diverse women written by diverse women (and believe me, we're a really diverse bunch).  Would you please lend the support of your blog, Tumblr, Facebook, or Twitter to supporting this wonderful publication by Silence in the Library publishing?  If you sign up, on December 16, you'll be part of the Thunderclap that spreads the word on social media about this anthology.  I do have a story in it, my first in over 15 years, and I'm really excited to share it.

So, I got something last night from the editor and illustrator for Athena's Daughters II for my original short story that will be appearing in that anthology.

Oh My Gosh.

I cannot WAIT to share it.  It's that awesome feeling when you see a piece of fanart for something you love or something you've written and the artist reads your mind and picks your favorite thing in the story and renders it perfectly.  You sit there and stare at it and (maybe print it and put it on your wall) and stare lovingly at it and say, YES THAT'S IT.  THAT'S PERFECT.  And for anyone who has read my fic, it will be no surprise AT ALL.  <g>

Kickstarter begins in December!!!

I learned this week that a short story I submitted to Silence in the Library Publishing was accepted for publication in the planned anthology, Athena's Daughters, Volume II.   This anthology features science fiction, fantasy, and genre written by women, about women.   Athena's Daughters Volume 1 is already in publication and features works by many talented writers, including Janine Spendlove, Cleolinda Jones, Tricia Barr, Jean Rabe, Jennifer Brozek, and Gail Martin.  I'm so honored to be included in this anthology and in the company of so many wonderful women writers.

I hope you'll consider supporting Silence in the Library and their many wonderful works through Kickstarter. Their Heroes -- A Diverse Superhero Anthology, is still live on Kickstarter and features some great stories -- I heard Janine Spendlove read hers at Origins and loved it.  You'll also get works by Tim Zahn, Mike Stackpole, and the late, great, Aaron Allston. 

I'll post more about Athena's Daughters Vol. 2 as it becomes available.
