Oh well, I guess I'll have to settle for Jim Butcher.. :)
Though I know there'll be those who would have loved your own star-crossed lovers story in there. The Prince of Dragonflies and Jenny of Oldstones, or Prince Aemon the Dragonknight and Queen Naerys, or
Rhaegar and Lyanna... ;) Suppose we'll have to settle for what we got of Jon and Ygritte, and what may be coming down the pike for some of the other characters.Wow! What a great line-up! Looking forward to it!
Thanks to you and Gardner for throwing out another gem for us.
In an completely unrelated note, I've been a huge ASOIAF fan since I picked up the first book 2 years ago. However, yesterday I branched out into your other works and began to read "Fevre Dream". I haven't been able to put it down since, it's got me hooked!
1. first romance one that is already out
2. warriors
3. this one?
Or are #1 and #3 the same?
Do you serve like a regular editor on these short stories? Like when you send your manuscript to your editor? Isn't that a completely different job than being a writer? Do you go through the short stories with a pen like a regular editor does?
The most recent of my anthologies to be published was SUICIDE KINGS, which is part of my long-running Wild Cards series.
SONGS OF LOVE AND DEATH, formerly known as STAR-CROSSED LOVERS, is a crossgenre anthology, with romance as one of the genres.
WARRIORS is also cross-genre. That one will be out in March.
Gardner Dozois and I are presently putting together another crossgenre anthology, this one blending SF/ fantasy with mystery// private eye stories. That's called DOWN THESE STRANGE STREETS.
Solo, I am also editing FORT FREAK, the twenty-first Wild Cards book.
Yes, editing requires somewhat different skills than writing. Editing an anthology is a bit different from editing a magazine, though. For one thing, it is invitation only, so you don't need to deal with hundreds of slush pile manuscripts coming in over the transom. I don't have the time or energy to deal with that, though I admire those valiant editors who do.
Diana's story for LOVE & DEATH is a spinoff from her bestselling OUTLANDER series, but it is not necessary to have read the books to enjoy it.
