Although I've known about this a while, for reasons that don't take much deducing I've not been allowed to announce until now to the world that my story "Baited Breath" has sold to the anthology Dragon Lure, edited by Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Jennifer Ross and Jeffrey Lyman.

Here's a (somewhat lo-res) glimpse of the visual for the cover a/w:

What to say about "Baited Breath"? It's a far more light-hearted tale than a lot of the stuff I've been producing lately; I thoroughly enjoyed writing the story, and even now I grin every time I think about it. Pam adores the piece; she went all glowy in the face on reading it!

No, the cover illustration was inspired not by "Baited Breath" but by (I assume) one of the other tales in the anthology.

Dragon Lure is to be published in May by DarkQuest, with a launch at Balticon; more than that I can't at the moment say -- although obviously I'm beginning to wonder if I should try to get to what would be my first ever Balticon.

"Baited Breath" --
that's not a typo/misspelling. Honest.

Oooooh, wonderful! This looks to be a fun anthology, Paul. It's going on my must read list.

"Baited Breath": I've known people whose breath smelled like bait. But I'm sure this is not your connotation. ;)

Congrats on the sale, P!

You'd prefer "glowbular"?

Or even "glowbal"?

Something in that general orbit, anyway.

That should keep someone on the ball.

Or at least put the sphere of God into them . . .

Go you! I think I'll be in there with you, but...
Let's say I've gotten the unofficial official word.
Hugs and grins,
