mo -- gary's short's title misspells the common phrase "in absentia" (no 't'); could be on purpose, but wanted to point it out.

Hi Maurice! You look like you've recently been neglecting putting your comments up! Well I did promise you an appropriate compliment at the appropriate place, so here goes: I think this anthology looks delectable, from the cover design and the story/poem titles alone: remarkable and surely full of food for thought. (This is why I read this blog! And if you indeed are the anthology's editor, top marks.) I really will have to get it. I have not yet checked to see if it is on amazon.co.uk. The Breton Court series appears available there to pre-order. BTW: I do *lurve* the name Gordon Dratch; and titles like those are what make me grab books from bookshop shelves: I tell you true, as ever! Wrath's story sounds like it is about Iblis; if he were a Black Muslim I daresay it would be! I have been following this blog for a while and believe I recall the story for the genesis of this book. Still - if you do another volume, as someone above suggests... would there be any room in it for, say, something pagan-related??

Or Heathen? Since atheists'/agnostics' stories seem quite well-represented therein, don't they?

They didn't sound like they was, luv... I can often tell a lot from titles - which is why I don't like stoopid ones, like all those "killings" we wuz talking about..:-( Still: even better! :=) Who among them are the pagan writers then? which faith groups do we have represented? (I know about some of the people on the list like Wrath and Brian, and I know they ain't your pagans!) :)

I'm going to have to wait, ain't I... He's going to make me! (Hey now - I'll believe in the pagan presence when I see it! Then I'll tell you what I think!)
