OUT WITH THE OLD/IN WITH THE NEW
There are a few things I can tell you about that are coming in 2019. Some I'll just hint at cause I'm not allowed to mention them yet.
Sunspot Jungle -- From bill Campbell's Rosarium Publishing. Trust me, if you have the money, get this two volume anthology chocked with writers from around the world. My story, "Blood Drive," is part of it. Wonderful illustrations. I think it comes out in Feb. Go to Rosarium's website for details. http://www.rosariumpublishing.com/
Exploring Dark Short Fiction: A Primer to Jeffrey Ford -- From Eric Guignard's Dark Moon Books. Eric's done a few of these already, presenting Kaaron Warren, Steve Rasnic Tem, and Nisi Shawl. In the fourth volume I get worked over -- there are stories of mine, an extensive interview, essays about my fiction, and a new story length work.

Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year Volume 13 -- Edited by Jonathan Strahan. My story, "The Bookcase Expedition," appears within. Strahan's Best Of anthos are always fabulous. This one comes out from Solaris in April. Follow this link to Coode Street for the TOC

Best of Collection -- From PS Publishing, edited by Nick Gevers. I chose about 30 of what I considered to be my best stories dating back to the early 2000's. There will be a new story in the mix as well. Derek is working on the illustrations to head up each piece and will do the cover and end papers. There will be notes for each story as well. Really looking forward to this. A little over 200,000 words.
Short novel -- Can't say nothin bout this yet. More to come about it early in the New Year.
Various stories in various publications I can't yet mention or haven't even written yet but are on the docket. And whatever the hell else I can muster up in the coming months. Happy New Year!
