"No Ghosts Need Apply" in The Phantom Chronicles, Volume 2 by Joe Gentile and Mike Bullock (eds.) (Moonstone Books, May 2010) -- The Phantom in Sherlock Holmes' London and Ireland... with a subtle hint of Edgar Rice Burroughs

Crossovers 1: A Secret Chronology of the World, Black Coat Press, May 2010.

"The Blakeney Family Tree" in The Worlds of Philip José Farmer 1: Protean Dimensions by Michael Croteau (ed.) (Meteor House, June 2010) -- Creative Mythography essay

"Fang and Sting" in The Green Hornet Chronicles by Joe Gentile and Win Scott Eckert (eds.) (Moonstone Books, October 2010) -- The Green Hornet and Kato vs...???

"Nadine's Invitation" in Tales of the Shadowmen Volume 7: Femmes Fatales by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier (ed.s) (Black Coat Press, December 2010) -- a "Wold Newton Origins" tale


Five short stories, two encyclopaedia-length reference works, a non-fiction essay, a behind-the-scenes proofing/copyediting assist on an anthology, and co-edits on another anthology featuring a popular character.

Not too shabby.
