Kevin! You missed a very important announcement of a certain Christmas themed anthology, no?
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteI saw nothing about any such anthology. Also, unless it was up for preorder now, I would probably not include any such anthology this far out from Christmas. Even up for preorder now, as some books are that are coming out in 2027, I would probably not include it due to the time lag between now and then.
Beyond all that, not everything I see gets included.
Kevin, I meant "Santa Rage 2." 😁
ReplyDeleteOh. Well, that just opened to submissions and will be that way till the end of August. So, we are a very long way from preorders, a pub date, and all that. So, I never thought of it as it does not yet exist.
