A Dark Spring Announcement and Cover Reveal!

A while back I talked about an upcoming anthology that I couldn’t quite discuss yet. Well the time has come! Tangled Tree Publishing has made the announcement, so here we go: A Dark Spring, the first anthology from Tangled Tree, is coming out April 11, featuring my story Early Retirement as well as seven other novellas from some ridiculously talented writers. Here’s the cover!

Cool, right?

I’ll paste their official announcement below, but man…seeing the cover makes it real, you know? There are a few links to preorder the book, Click here for Amazon, Click here for Goodreads.
