This winter, there'll be a new anthology from DTF, an imprint of Dark Quest Books: Defending the Future 5: Best Laid Plans, edited by Mike McPhail. With an introduction by Myke Cole, the anthology -- which will be dedicated to the memory of Anne McCaffrey -- will include a science fiction story by me called "The Stone of the First High Pontiff." It's the first of what I hope will be several stories about a woman known simply as the human finder. *big grin*

Here's the cover and the table of contents:
