Swimming with Awesome Fishes


I am delighted to announce that my short story, Too Delicate for Human Form, has been accepted by Dagan Books for their fish anthology.

I am also delighted to say that I managed to keep it a secret for two whole days, no hints or anything. This may be a record and I'm sure I deserve a reward even if it's self-gifted.

I am further delighted to be sharing a TOC with Camille Alexa, Amanda C Davis, Corinne Duyvis, Claude Lalumière, Ken Liu, TJ McIntyre and many other awesome folk. The official table of contents are below and the anthology is due out February 8th, 2012.
