**PARANORMAL PAYBACK** , an anthology edited by Jim Butcher and Kerrie L. Hughes, is all about getting supernatural revenge. It features stories by Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Holly Black, Faith Hunter, several other urban fantasy authors, and… me! I’ll have a story from my Alastair Stone Chronicles universe rubbing elbows with these luminaries, and I’m all a-twitter about it! I even get to have my regular audiobook narrator doing the narration for my story! If you like urban fantasy and want to check it out, here’s the [link from Penguin Random House](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/744760/paranormal-payback-by-edited-by-jim-butcher-and-kerrie-l-hughes/) (or Random Penguin House). Also, if you like my story and want to see more of of the universe it’s from, a little bird told me that the first Stone ebook box set featuring books 1-4 will be _veerrrrry_ cheap (like, free!) for a few days starting on 4/14). ---

Cool! So you must be “and more…” (as opposed to “and the rest,” who were The Professor and Mary Ann) ---
