We were just talking about MZB in another thread, so I was slightly startled to get this in my e-mail.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Norilana Books is proud to announce that it has come to an agreement
with the Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust to publish the
next original book in the classic anthology series Sword and
Sorceress.

SWORD AND SORCERESS is the long-running popular series of annual
anthologies from DAW Books featuring sword and sorcery stories of
strong female protagonists, warrior women and sorceresses, edited by
the late Marion Zimmer Bradley for over two decades and beloved by
generations of readers. The roster of writers "discovered" or
published in Sword and Sorceress over the years reads like the "Who's
Who" of genre publishing. The series has featured the writing of such
authors as Laurell K. Hamilton, Mercedes Lackey, C. J. Cherryh,
Charles de Lint, Elizabeth Moon, Jennifer Roberson, Diana L. Paxson,
Lawrence Schimel, Esther M. Friesner, Josepha Sherman, Lawrence
Watt-Evans, Deborah J. Ross, Charles Saunders, Lois Tilton, Syne
Mitchell, Laura J. Underwood, Lisa Silverthorne, Dave Smeds, Jo
Clayton, Patricia Duffy Novak, Mary Soon Lee, Lee Martindale, Dorothy
J, Heydt, Cynthia McQuillin, Terry McGarry, Selina Rosen, ElizaBeth
Gilligan, Linda J. Dunn, Jenn Reese, Rosemary Edghill, Jim C. Hines,
and countless others who have gone on to become household names.

The last volume of the series, #21 was published by DAW after Mrs.
Bradley's death, and the series concluded despite continued reader
demand.

Now, the series resumes, with a brand-new volume of original stories
expected to be published by Norilana Books in November 2007 in trade
paperback format, to be titled MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY'S SWORD AND
SORCERESS #22. The anthology will be edited by Elisabeth Waters, and
will be open to author submissions starting March 23, 2007.
