New Collection: Sister of the Hedge
Years ago, I did a series of LOL Book covers, which some folks found amusing. They were mentioned on Facebook over the weekend, and I figured I’d share the LOL Book archives for anyone who wanted a dose of book cover silliness on their Monday morning.

I had originally intended to launch Sister of the Hedge & Other Stories by the end of April.
I had 90% of the work done. But that final 10% kept getting postponed until this past Friday, when I ended up home sick with my son. He played Lego Pirates of the Caribbean and I went through the final file preparation and cleanup and validation.
I’m happy to say the book is now available on Amazon and B&N. It includes the following stories:
SISTER OF THE HEDGE
IN THE LINE OF DUTY
HEART OF ASH
BLOODLINES
IMAGES OF DEATH
OURS TO FIGHT FOR
These are some of my darker and more serious stories. “Sister of the Hedge” is the only thing I’ve written to ever make the preliminary Nebula ballot, which was pretty cool. “Heart of Ash” will give you a preview of some of the ideas I’m playing with for the dryad character in Libriomancer. “In the Line of Duty” … well, I’ll let you read the author’s note to find out where that one came from 🙂
I’ll be working to get it posted on other sites as well. I’m thinking about trying Smashwords this time. More updates as they happen.

As sonn as it’s somewhere not Amazon, B&N or Apple, it’s a direct buy for me 😉

Thanks for getting it up on BN.com, just purchased it. Does this have DRM, or is it DRM-free? I’m getting more and more leery of DRM…I purchased Seanan’s BLACKOUT and then was told I wasn’t authorized to view it. It took me a good two hours to get it straightened out. Also, thank you for making these lend-able. Not that I have a lot of people to lend to, but collections like these are a great way to introduce someone to an author.

When I uploaded the files, I checked the options to make them as DRM-free as I could. And thanks!

I find that Monday morning is exponentially improved by book cover silliness.
Sister of the Hedge – yay! (I really must acquire a Kindle)
