I got the terrific news that “Healing Benjamin” (to appear later this year in the resurrected Realms of Fantasy) has been selected to be in Ellen Datlow’s February 2010 anthology of fantastic cat stories, Tails of Wonder, from Night Shade.  Ellen is one of my favorite editors—I’m thrilled and honored.  This will make February an eventful month.  “Texas Beach” will be coming out in Richmond Noir, and Wilderness will be reissued by HarperCollins.  I’ve gotten a peek at the cover art for that, and it’s way sexy—as it should be.  It’s always gotten dark, horror covers before, and werewolves notwithstanding, it’s not a horror novel.
