All right, every state with two living senators step forward. Uh, not so fast there, Kentucky.

I'm finally free to tell y'all that my story, "The Knight, the Pig, and the Sorceress" will be published in the upcoming anthology Street Magic III. It's another story about my character Jack. You can read another story about him in Street Magic II, along with other fantastic urban fantasies.
