Sword and Sorceress 24

My story "Soul Walls" is in Norilana Books' anthology Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress XXIV, edited by Elisabeth Waters. (Scroll down the page for the proper volume.) S&S 24 is also available as an ebook in many formats at Fictionwise.

Publishers Weekly has this to say about Sword and Sorceress XXIV: "Waters ably continues the feminist anthology series founded by Bradley (1930-1999) to showcase short-form fantasy with a wide variety of heroic female characters. Of the 17 stories featured, standout selections include "A Curious Case" by Annclaire Livoti, a literary gem of a paranormal fantasy that pits a magic-practicing PI against a serial killer targeting succubae, and Julia H. West's "Soul Walls," which brilliantly fuses magic, art and Native American mysticism. A disorganized wizard and his unhappy wife are at the heart of the charming "Merlin's Clutter" by Helen E. Davis, and a princess solves the mystery of her father's murder through a magical tapestry in Brenta Blevins's "Material Witness." Though some of the selections are less than stellar, fantasy fans looking for original stories will find much to enjoy."

Jonathan Moeller interviewed me about the story; that interview is at his blog (which also contains interviews with many of the other authors from S&S 24).
