Rogues Pre-Ordered!

Last night, after taking a video game break, I pre-ordered the giant cross-genre anthology by George R.R. Martin & Gardner Dozois called Rogues for my Kobo ereader.  It's coming out June 17. This their follow-up to Dangerous Women.

This is what all the excitement is about:

A thrilling collection of twenty-one original stories by an all-star list of contributors—including a new A Game of Thrones story by George R. R. Martin!
 
Twenty-one all-original stories, by an all-star list of contributors, will delight and astonish you in equal measure with their cunning twists and dazzling reversals. And George R. R. Martin himself offers a brand-new tale chronicling one of the biggest rogues in the entire Ice and Fire saga.
Follow along with the likes of Gillian Flynn, Joe Abercrombie, Neil Gaiman, Patrick Rothfuss, Scott Lynch, Cherie Priest, Garth Nix, and Connie Willis as well as other masters of literary sleight-of-hand in this rogues’ gallery of stories that will plunder your heart—and yet leave you all the richer for it.
