Today, I’m giving a shout-out to Hot Spell, a new anthology featuring Emma Holly, Lora Leigh, Meljean Brook, and Shiloh Walker. I recently met Lora Leigh at writers’ event, and Meljean comments on my blog a lot. Plus, it just sounds like a cool anthology. 🙂

I like anthologies for this reason — you get four authors for the price of one. It’s a great, and relatively cheap, way to try out some new writers and see if you like them. With four stories and voices to choose from, you’re bound to like at least one of them, which isn’t always the case with a single-title book. And, if one of your favorite authors is in the anthology too, that’s an added bonis.

The only quibble I have with anthologies is when an author is too good — and I have to rush right back to the bookstore to buy something else by her. But, that’s a good problem to have. 🙂
