Under the Rose -- ToC

[realthog]

And, no, I'm not talking about a lotusvine-like adventure under the ceiling-rose, but about the new anthology edited by Dave Hutchinson (hutch0) that Norilana Books (norilanabooks) will be publishing in October. After many an entreaty and oft, the doughty editor has supplied me with a copy of the ToC:

Nice!

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased to be a part of this venture, you can bet.

Very nice. Congratulations. But if it is under the rose, why is it public?

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me. Ask hutch0.

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

It's a long story.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

And considerably longer after one's been hitting the Clan McTesco's Six-Week-Old, no doubt.

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

It's still a long story, as well you know.

[al-zorra.livejournal.com]

Well, Good!

Love, C.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Let's hope readers think so!

Hmm, you get to close the anthology -- interesting...

I'm not familiar enough with any of the other writers to judge by name; but, going by title alone, "The Tale of a More Ancient, Ancient Mariner" sounds in particular like a story I'd like to read.

"Hmm, you get to close the anthology -- interesting..."

At a guess, it's because mine is by a fair margin the longest story in the book.

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

I had to put it somewhere...

[realthog.livejournal.com]

"I had to put it somewhere..."

You're just sort of hoping no one'll get that far, eh?

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

I was thinking if I put it in the middle of the book nobody would be able to read any further... ;-)

"I was thinking if I put it in the middle of the book nobody would be able to read any further..."

Because they'd have been so busy plaguing Directory Inquiries for the Nobel Committee's phone number, you mean?

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

Well...yeeesss...

[sarcobatus.livejournal.com]

I'm totally into sub rosa.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Something to pig out on while watching the Superbowl, eh?

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

`Many an entreaty and oft.' You asked me once.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

Is there no poetry in your soul?

[hutch0.livejournal.com]

Poetry? I'm a journalist...!

[lotusvine.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I was divinely spared so I could get some more reading done... :)

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Him Upstairs thought: "I'd better bump up the readership of Under the Rose somehow, so . . ."
