I'm listed on the cover under my oft-used pseudonym, "And More."The story is "Crossroads," which appeared in the final issue of Dave Zeltserman's on-line zine, Hardluck Stories.
Crowded off the cover by that tyro Oates, the obscure Connelly. Well, you know I feel your pain...my first story was a last-minute addition to its issue of TOMORROW SPECULATIVE FICTION, and thus I was the Only writer not credited on the cover of that issue (which ran a Jacek Yerka painting from the Yerka/Ellison MINDFIELDS project, rather than one tailored to the regular cover format, and thus was left a lot more space for typography than most issues had).
Indeed, congrats, and glad the book has finally shown up.
One often wonders who along the chain decides which names go on the covers...the TWILIGHT ZONE antho that's newly out has rather eccentric choices of who goes on the front cover and who on the back, and hard it alone...

Bill, excellent story. I'm proud to have published it originally and it's definitely worthy of being in any best of year crime fiction anthology.
He's here, he's there, he's everywhere!
Bill's a modern Scarlet Pimpernel.

Super terrific Bill.
I was honored to have a story appear in that same issue of Hardluck Stories with "Crossroads" which is a marvelous story.
I am looking forward to a re-read when I get my hands on the anthology.
