It’s here, it’s here!
Remember when I linked to a free podcast of my story “The Sound of My OwnVoice”? Well, the whole anthology of urban fantasy stories from Fiction River, Hex in the City, edited by the
phenomenal Kerrie Lynn Hughes, is now available for sale!
Here’s what I wrote for the
intro to my story…
Years ago a humor blogger
relayed a tale about drunkenly singing karaoke with friends, to the point of
rolling around on the stage. Sadly, there’s no logical progression to how my
brain forms ideas—it’s rather like the Underpants Gnomes on South Park (Phase
1: Collect Underpants. Phase 3: Profit). Here, it was Phase 1: Drunken Karaoke.
Phase 3: Woman Who Has No Idea She’s a Siren Because She’s Been Told Never to
Sing Gets Drunk, Sings Karaoke, Then Hot Guy Stops Her, and Then Stuff Happens.
I found the rest of the story as I wrote it.
(I have been told this is a
novel. In fact, it will be…eventually. For now, you get the short story, and by
the gods you will be thankful for it!)
This anthology, though… It’s
all I can do not to drop everything I’m doing and start reading. Holy shitballs!
