The IWSG's latest anthology, VOYAGERS: The Third Ghost,
is flying through publication.  Review copies have been ordered,
and copies are going out to reviewers this week.

That's a bit of news to make this author's heart beat faster,
and I'll bet the other anthologies authors are feeling the same excitement!

It's an honor for each of us to be included in the anthology,
