A Peek at The Way of the Wizard
The Wizard hits stores on Nov. 16.
It’s almost here! Next month Prime Books releases its new fantasy anthology paperback, THE WAY OF THE WIZARD. It features 32 stories of sorcerers, wizards, magicians and the like. In addition to luminaries like Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin, Robert Silverberg, and Peter S. Beagle (among others) it features my own story, “The Thirteen Texts of Arthyria.”
Editor extraordinaire John Joseph Adams just announced the book’s complete table of contents:

Hey John,
Congratulations on being included! Wow, that’s one impressive TOC.
Are these all original stories? If so, it’s even more impressive.

Yeah, it’s pretty dang cool. Really proud to be a part of this one.
Yes, some of the stories are reprints. I’m not sure how many, but hey if you haven’t read it before, it’s “new” to you!
My understanding is that MOST of them are all-new tales. I know mine is.

18 of the 32 stories are original to the book, so a bit more than half the book is original.
