The stand-alone stories, not part of any series, feature some amazing work as well.  For those who like to lose themselves in long stories, the Brandon Sanderson story, the Diana Gabaldon story, the Caroline Spector story, and my &#8220;Princess and Queen&#8221; are novellas.  Huge mothers.  <\/p>\n<p>This one took longer than we thought it would, mostly because of me (mea culpa), but Gardner and I think you&#8217;ll find that it was worth the wait.  Some terrific tales await you.  No pubdate yet, of course&#8230; this bulletin is hot off the press&#8230; but as soon as we get word from Tor, you guys will be the first to know.<\/p>\n<p>((Hurrah!
