I've finished editing the last story for The Necromouser and Other Magical Cats! It will have thirteen stories -- six Shreddy stories and seven other cat stories. Here's a mock line-up:

"The Necromouser"
"Shreddy and the Zomb-dogs"
"Shreddy and the Silver Egg"
"Shreddy and the Christmas Ghost"
"Shreddy and the Dancing Dragon"
"Shreddy and the Carnivorous Plant" -- new story!

"Songs of Fish and Flowers"
"Magtwilla and the Mouse"
"Katelynn the Mythic Mouser" -- new story!
"The Wharf Cat's Mermaid"
"Cold Tail and the Eyes" -- new story!
"All the Cats of the Rainbow" -- new story!
"In a Cat's Eyes"

As you can see, four of the stories will be completely original for this anthology. All I have left to do is figure out the actual order of the stories -- I might go with the line-up above, but I want to spend some time checking to make sure that all the transitions are smooth.

Of course, due to exclusive rights on some of the stories, the collection can't come out before the end of September. Still, once I have the manuscript finished, I can start focusing on other projects again...

Finally, the Ursa Major Awards are still open for nominations, and I have eight short stories that are eligible. They're all available for free until the end of the month -- links here. And, if you're a Shreddy fan, you should know that one of them is a Shreddy story.
