Tuesday, July 22, 2014. It’s finally here: Fae. 8217; fairy-centric anthology, is out now. I have written about my involvement with Fae. But wanted to mark its release date by posting a little extract from my story, Antlers. I’m reluctant to give away too much about the tale, nor the specific fae-creature it concerns, so below are just the opening lines of Antlers. To give a taster of what's to come in the book:. Blossoming around the arrow that has pierced her heart. Expertly edited by Rhonda Parrish.
