The Phantom Queen Awakes

[che2000]

Just got word from the lovely people at Morrigan Books that their new anthology The Phantom Queen Awakes is available for pre-order. It features new fiction from Katharine Kerr, Elaine Cunningham, Anya Bast, C.E Murphy and, well, me!

Here's the official blurb:
Love, death and war…
The Morrigan goddess represented all three to the ancient Celts. Journey with our authors as they tell stories of love, war, hatred, revenge and mortality - each featuring the Morrigan in her many guises.

Re-visit the world of Deverry, and of Nevyn, with a previously unpublished tale by Katharine Kerr, watch the Norse gods meet their Celtic counterparts with Elaine Cunningham, meet a druid who dances for the dead with C.E. Murphy and follow the path of a Roman centurion with Anya Bast.

These are but a few offerings from the stories collection in The Phantom Queen Awakes. If you are searching for a rich blend of dark fantasy, then this is a collection perfect for you.

Excellent Che - having just reread the Demon Princes series by Jack Vance for the third time I'm delighted to see you getting another story out there. You write beautifully echoing but not parodying the master.
