From Julie Barrett
(The Quantum Leap A to Z novel):
I will have a story in "Two of
the Deadliest," a mystery anthology edited by Elizabeth George and due out from
HarperCollins next April in hardcover. (Elizabeth George is the author of the Inspector
Lynley books, which are the basis for the BBC series.) My tale is called
"Invasion." Amazon has a page for the book (http://tinyurl.com/56dgtr) but it's too early for them to have any
information in place.
