“Escalation” to Appear in Borderlands #7


I am happier than one of my fiery hot pepper martinis (and that is very happy, I'll have you know) to announce that my short story, "Escalation," will be appearing in the 7th edition of Borderlands, the award-winning anthology series from Borderlands Press edited by Olivia and Tom Monteleone. It's scheduled for release on October 1, 2020.

From the Borderlands Press website:

Borderlands 7 is the current volume of the continuing anthology series that has garnered awards and praise for its contributors and editors for more than twenty-five years. It is a non-themed gathering of stories which push the boundaries of genre fiction with provocative tales of the surreal and the weird.

“You will find no zombies, no serial killers, no vampires, no ghosts... or any other familiar genre tropes or icons within these pages. Borderlands fiction is typified by its absolutely untypical nature. The editors offer herewith a wide range of fiction varying in tone, length, style, and theme. The path to the Borderlands of contemporary, imaginative fiction is traveled by writers who believe they can write a story that is so unique and memorable it demands to be a part of this current volume. The result is a grand amalgam of respected masters, solid veterans, and bold newcomers.”
