My friend Nicole Ford Thomas released her newest anthology on May 9, called Tales From the Moonlight Market. This anthology is a collection of short stories that tell a larger tale. This collection is quirky, funny and not to be missed.
I was privileged to work with Nicole on this book as an editor. These silly stories, written in order and set in Germany’s black forest, so expect the unexpected… but hold onto your moonshine, it’s going to be a bumpy night!

( I have no stories of my own in this book, but I had the opportunity to read two of the stories in this book before publication. I promise you, this is a fun read!)

***A selection from the introduction to The Faerie Glossary and Guide for Writers:
Have you ever wondered which country the folklore around Pixies comes from? And if there were other spellings of the word? Instead of poring over hundreds of websites and/or books, searching if Ban Shídhe are from Ireland only, or if Grindylows are real folklore? And have you been wondering what the heck cultural appropriation is, especially as it applies to fantasy, and how you can avoid it in your novel? What about the types of fairies to avoid because of their links to racism and ableism? This kind of information is here in this book.
This resource is also intended to assist authors and editors of fantasy and science fiction (and probably horror, heh) with the intricate spellings of the names of the various beings that live in Faerie – the Otherworld of the islands of Great Britain – and to learn which of the isles these stories were born.
I'm looking forward to publishing this book over the summer!

***I think sending cards is so much more intimate than a text or DM, and I find people really appreciate when they receive a card in the mail.
More info on my new onboarding process is coming! For now, if you're ready to book an editor for the fall, you can send me an email to: heather dewey pettet (at) gmail (dot) com.
***If you are interested in my editing services, I have openings for projects of 50,000 words or more, starting in mid-August! For now, I can offer samples of 1,000 words to see if we are a good fit. I can also do copyediting, proofreading and sensitivity and/or authenticity reading of short-form works such as short stories and book-publishing related content such as blurbs and other promotional content of up to 10,000 words over the summer.
