Here's the dirt. I've got a story buried in here, and I hope you'll dig it.

RELEASE DAY!

Excited that my first anthology as an editor - UNEARTHED - is out today from Titan Books!

This book was a couple years in the making and it was a thrill to work with co-editor Dan Coxon and all the incredible writers from around the world who contributed stories.

Hey @Gophervball: the Aug 28 match is billed as being on Fox but a Vikings game is there. Is an alternative being arranged?
