This week – on Thursday the 28^th of February to be precise – the new romantic fantasy anthology from Dragon Soul Press, entitled First Love, is finally released.

I’ve been yakking on about this for a while because one of my short stories, entitled Papercut, is a part of this prestigious volume. See? I’m not just about scaring the pants off people. I’ve got a lovey-dovey side too.

Papercut concerns a lonely teenage boy living with his ultra-strict Jehovah’s Witness mother. One night a mysterious girl made entirely of paper appears in his dreams, and… you can find out more by clicking the pre-order links below.

First Love also features stories from a bunch of other hugely talented authors, some of whom will feature in interviews on the blog over the next couple of weeks. Whether you fancy reading about the romantic dreamscapes of the religiously oppressed, or love stories involving forest nymphs, mages, selkies, Native American mythology, or, as one of my fellow writers pitched her story to me, “Bridget Jones meets Morgana Le Fay”, this is a must for those who like their romance with a fantastical twist.
