I have a new cover. I’m so excited about this one. It’s the second anthology that I’ve been in with my writerly friends the Allure Authors.
Isn’t it purdy?? I love it. Avon has done an amazing job of branding our covers.
ALLURING TALES II: HOT HOLIDAY NIGHTS releases November 2008.
What is your most wicked fantasy?
Seven steamy tales that are sure to heat up the holidays from the authors of the immensely successful Alluring Tales: Awaken the Fantasy. Each of these authors uniquely brings something special to her story–perhaps a bit of paranormal, or humor, or fantasy. And together they have created one of Avon Red’s most popular anthologies.
If you haven’t read the first one, it’s on sale for $3.99 at Barnes and Noble online.
Do you read anthologies? What have been some of your favorites? What would be your dream anthology?
Mine would be one with: Kim Harrison, Rachel Caine, Patricia Briggs, Rachel Vincent, and Vicki Pettersson

Another great cover for the Bradford Bunch this week! Very nice, Vivi.
I do read anthologies. I love them because the stories are much easier for me to read in an hour or two and then get on with the rest of life. Very seldom do I have time to read a bunch of nights or hours back to back, so novella length is just awesome!

Oooh… pretty cover! I think I like this one even better than the first Alluring Tales cover! I’m in Avon Red’s Bedding Down anthology in December (edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel, so her name is the one on the cover) and I am just in love with how the cover turned out! Avon does a lovely job, I think.
I love anthologies– getting little “bites” to read when I have a few minutes. I also love discovering new authors. I’ve gone on to hunt down full-length novels by authors I was first introduced to in anthologies.

Lovely cover. I love those Bad Boys anthologies from Brava.

That is a GORGEOUS cover! Love it!

Oh that’s gorgeous, Vivi! Congrats on such a pretty cover. And yes, I do read anthologies because I often discover new authors that way. It’s where I discovered EC Sheedy for instance and when I found Eileen Wilks a few years ago (I bought it for Emma Holly and ended up in love with Wilks’ writing)

This is a truly stunning cover. Congrats!
I typically pick up an anthology if I’m a fan of one or more of the authors. Especially if there is a story in the book that is a short based on a series I’m already vested in. I’ll also check out an anthology if the theme appeals to me. I recently read What Happens In Vegas and loved it!
