I have a new story coming out on Valentine's Day 2010, in the anthology Lace and Blade 3

, ed. Deborah J Ross, from the wonderful small-press publisher Norilana Books. I'm really excited about this: I love this series, which focuses on swashbuckling adventure and Romance in the Dumas style. And the line-up is great: it's a huge honour to be included alongside writers like Tanith Lee, Judith Tarr and Rosemary Hawley Jarman. No cover art as yet, but here's the full list of stories:

Kari Sperring, "Featherweight"

Sean McMullen, "Culverelle"

Sheila Finch, "Fortune's Stepchild"

Judith Tarr, "The Horned King"

Jay Lake & Shannon Page, "Embers"

Tanith Lee, "Question a Stone"

Dave Smeds, "A Swain of Kneaded Moonlight"

Rosemary Hawley Jarman, "Fire and Frost and Burning Rose"

K. D. Wentworth, "The Garden of Swords"
