New Short Story Sale!

Originally published at Michael M. Jones Says..... You can comment here or there.

I’m pleased as punch to announce that my story “Thwarting the Spirits” has sold to She-Shifters: Lesbian Paranormal Erotica, edited by Delilah Devlin. It will come out from Cleis Press in Fall 2012.
While I’d love to say more about the story, for now, let me just give you this: It’s about a werecobra and a weremongoose who fall for one another despite being mortal enemies. It’s another one of my Puxhill stories, and features a few guest stars I rather enjoyed squeezing in. When I have more info, I’ll share it here.
