Requiems for the Departed -- hardback as well as paperback!

Requiems for the Departed, the Gerard Brennan- and Mike Stone-edited anthology of Irish crime stories for which my tale "The Life Business" was lucky enough to be accepted, is to be published on June 1.

However, Morrigan are accepting pre-orders already, so hurry hurry hurry while stocks last!

Even more exciting is that there's going to be a limited (to 100 copies) hardback edition in addition to the originally planned trade paperback. This hardback is priced at an astonishingly modest £12.99 (plus shipping). As well as the authors listed on the cover there are Garry Kilworth, Una McCormack and Dave Hutchinson with stories here (seems really odd Garry isn't on the cover, come to think of it!), among lots of others, so you know you need to buy at least half a dozen copies for family and friends.
