"I absolutely adore this collection ... a wonderful, changeable mix of genres, storytelling styles, characters and vibes; I love the central thread of the underwater ballroom - never overtly stressed but always present - and how every author has turned that into something with such a different tone and place. The anthology is wonderful, and well worth a read!" - Kate Coe at Writing & Coe
