It's volume 2 of the Crimson Pact series of anthologies, which is scheduled to come out around the end of August. (Volume one is already out. See http://www.thecrimsonpact.com for details.) They even made trailers for our stories. Here's mine (plus an excerpt, below):

Exerpt from Karma:

We hit the interstate like an unguided missile. Needles of frozen rain and jagged blades of wind beat my face numb and turned what was left of my dress into a full-body ice-pack. Even with the heater on 'incinerate,' I couldn't stop shivering, but the outside air was all that kept me from gagging on the smell of my own puke and the rusty stench of blood, so the window stayed down. Between the black pavement and blacker sky, the air was wet and gray. It sucked the vitality from my headlamp beams well before their natural time, but that was okay. I wasn't paying much attention to the little they revealed anyway.

The man in the passenger's seat either didn't feel the cold or was too stoic to show discomfort. The dashboard glow turned his short white beard to green and deepened the age lines in his face. Gods, I'd loved that face growing up. It was my grandfather's face. But right then, I could barely look at it, because this wasn't my grandfather; just a sad, confused spirit wearing his body. And even though he was one of the good guys, that didn't mean it was easy to take.

"You're going to catch cold," Not-Grandpa shouted over the storm.

"I'm... what?"

Since last night I'd been shot at, whipped, and electrocuted. I'd watched a good man beheaded and disemboweled before my eyes, and learned things about myself, my family, and especially my past, that had already driven other people into padded-room territory. I was marinated in a vile concoction of blood and various other body fluids, quite a bit of it my own, and had spent the last however-many hours fighting horrors that should never have existed. In the middle of all that--because I'm an overachiever--I took time out to kill a man I loved.

And this guy was worried that I'd catch a fucking cold.

Once I started laughing, I couldn't stop. The kind of deep, full-body laughter that doubles you over and makes your stomach muscles ache for days afterward. The kind that shreds the lining of your throat and rises in pitch to rapid staccato squeaks, like sneakers on a hardwood floor. I held back the worst long enough to wrestle the car onto the shoulder, then let go. The laughter turned to howling, the howling into screams, the screams into sobs, and the sobs into a quiet whimper that finally, gods finally, tapered off, and I could breathe again, in great, ragged gulps. I wiped away a rope of snot hanging from my nose and sat hunched over with my eyes closed and my forehead against the steering wheel, shaking, while the rain pummeled my back with tiny, ice-cold fists.

In shock? Probably. Hysterical? Definitely. Look, I make sandwiches at my family's restaurant for a living, okay? Sandwiches.

Not-Grandpa waited until I quieted down before speaking. "I'm sorry," he said. It was the dozenth or so time he'd said it. The line of his mouth stayed hard, but his eyes and his voice were soft and broken. I believed him. Had to believe him.

"I know." I didn't mean for it to sound bitter. He'd saved my life, after all; he deserved better than that. I just didn't know if I could forgive him for not being who I wanted him to be.

A little too "in media res" for you? Yeah, me too.

So here are the vitals: My name is Karma Miranda Rodriguez. I'm twenty-three years old, five foot six, with brown eyes, light brown skin, and dark brown hair that I keep boy-short. I claim to be a size five, and I dare you to say otherwise. I like strawberry daiquiris, support equal rights for supernaturals, am indifferent toward long walks on the beach, and...

And oh, yeah—Apparently, I kill demons.
