We are ecstatic to announce that J.L. Worrad, novelist and short story contributor to several anthologies at Stars and Sabers, has joined Jendia Gammon as co-editor for the grimdark fantasy anthology, Of Blades, Betrayal, and Blood!

J.L. Worrad lives in Leicester, England, and has for almost all his life. He has a degree in classical studies from Lampeter University, Wales. He has found this invaluable to his growth as a science fiction and fantasy writer in that he soon discovered how varied and peculiar human cultures can be. He is the author of the fantasy novels Pennyblade and The Keep Within, published by Titan Books, and Feral Space, a space opera in two parts, published by Castrum Press.

The stars and sabers have aligned for this great partnership!
