M. Rickert’s “Journey into the Kingdom” is the story of 2006, I think. I know it’s in at least three other “year’s bests” — and most deservedly so!

Forgive for asking, since I’ve just now stumbled upon your blog (shame on me!), but is this anthology the new title of BEST NEW PARANORMAL ROMANCE 2 or is this a different anthology entirely?
And amen to “Journey into the Kingdom”. Gorgeous story. The “Moment of Joy Before” is also very good. Looking forward to this anthology, whatever it’s called!

Yes, it is “volume 2″ of the series, not a new one. THere is no longer a best new “paranormal romance” series, just “romantic fantasy”.

Thanks, Paula!
Just finished the BNRF anthology yesterday. Good, good stuff. I think McDonald’s, Bear’s, and Hand’s stories were my faves, though I think every story was pretty solid and enjoyable.
