I received an extra copy of Songs of Love & Death, an anthology edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. So I'm giving it away to one lucky winner! For more info about this title: Canada, USA, Europe.
Here's the blurb:
In this star-studded cross-genre anthology, seventeen of the greatest modern authors of fantasy, science fiction, and romance explore the borderlands of their genres with brand-new tales of ill-fated love. From zombie-infested woods in a postapocalyptic America to faery-haunted rural fields in eighteenth- century England, from the kingdoms of high fantasy to the alien world of a galaxy-spanning empire, these are stories of lovers who must struggle against the forces of magic and fate.
Award-winning, bestselling author Neil Gaiman demonstrates why he’s one of the hottest stars in literature today with “The Thing About Cassandra,” a subtle but chilling story of a man who meets an old girlfriend he had never expected to see.
International blockbuster bestselling author Diana Gabaldon sends a World War II RAF pilot through a stone circle to the time of her Outlander series in “A Leaf on the Winds of All Hallows.” Torn from all he knows, Jerry MacKenzie determinedly survives hardship and danger, intent on his goal of returning home to his wife and baby—no matter the cost.
New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher presents “Love Hurts,” in which Harry Dresden takes on one of his deadliest adversaries and in the process is forced to confront the secret desires of his own heart.
Just the smallest sampling promises unearthly delights, but look also for stories by New York Times bestselling romance authors Jo Beverley and Mary Jo Putney, and by such legends of the fantasy genre as Peter S. Beagle and Tanith Lee, as well as many other popular and beloved writers, including Marjorie M. Liu, Jacqueline Carey, Carrie Vaughn, and Robin Hobb. This exquisite anthology, crafted by the peerless editing team of George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, is sure to leave you under its spell.
The rules are the same as usual. You need to send an email at reviews@(no-spam)gryphonwood.net with the header "LOVE." Remember to remove the "no spam" thingy.
Second, your email must contain your full mailing address (that's snail mail!), otherwise your message will be deleted.
Lastly, multiple entries will disqualify whoever sends them. And please include your screen name and the message boards that you frequent using it, if you do hang out on a particular MB.
Good luck to all the participants!

I know it's got nothing to do with GRRM himself, but I'm getting sick of the marketing people pushing the 'song' connection with anything edited by GRRM.
We get it. This is from the man writing A Song of Ice and Fire. Enough already.
I agree. Enough with the 'song" crap. He keeps using that word. I don't think it means what he thinks it means.
Well, the original title for this was STAR-CROSSED LOVERS, imho a much better one...
Like I said, it's not GRRM's fault. As Mr Anonymous said, it originally had a different name. I just think the marketing team are being a bit heavy handed.
We're clever people. The contributors are talented. They don't need to pump GRRM's name.
