The anthology, to be edited by

, has no official title yet, but

and myself have been invited to produce novellas about the Assyrian goddess of love and war, each set in a different time period. I think its an awesome concept and am very honoured to have been selected alongside writers of the calibre of Kaaron & Deb.

I’m really looking forward too seeing three of you come up with on this one. The Ishtar legend lends so much scope for reworking that I can’t even begin to wonder which direction you’ll take it in.
And novellas!! Bring on more novellas!

Does Kate Orman know? I think she really really should. She knows more about Ishtar than any three other people I know, and I think would be very interested to hear about this.

I'll check with Kate. She may be able to point us in the direction of quality resource material

That’s sounds like a fascinating idea for an anthology. Can’t wait to read it.

It is a bit of an impressive line up that one!
Not too sure about the editor though…
