So here, some considerable time later, we are. I thought I probably could, because I had edited a volume of short stories by friends before ( The Bodleian Murders) but it was quite a big leap taking on a collection where there were going to be some authors I knew, and some I’d never met and am never likely to. When someone (it may even have been me) mooted a WW2 anthology, the next question to arise was “Who’ll edit it?”, at which point I either forgot the great Forces motto “Never volunteer” or failed to step back fast enough, because the next thing I heard myself saying was, “I don’t mind doing that.” It wasn’t exactly inspiration! I had joined some of the editors and authors from Manifold Press at a writing retreat weekend in Devon – here, which I thoroughly recommend – and one evening the talk drifted to future plans for anthologies. What inspired your involvement with Call to Arms, Heloise? I’m delighted to say that several of my fellow Call to Arms authors will be guesting at my blog over the next week, and doubly delighted to say that my first guest is our editor, Heloise.
