What we know so far (some quotes courtesy of Dallas at Loving True Blood in Dallas) -

Jeff Abbott says -

"no never wrote a horror novel but I will have a supernatural story out in an anthology Charlaine Harris and Toni Kelner are doing next year called Death's Excellent Vacation"

Jeaniene Frost says -

One For the Money, a Cat and Bones short story in the DEATH'S EXCELLENT VACATION anthology, comes out August 2010. The short story is set after the events of DFAEG. 

Chrstopher Golden says -

My story in DEV is...weird. It's called "Thin Walls" and resounds with sex and death. It starts with a lonely widower in a hotel room, forced to listen to the raucous sex going on in the room next door, and gets unsettling from there.

Chris Grabenstein says -

"I'm excited to report that my short story 'The Demon in the Dunes' will be in Death's Excellent Vacation anthology"

Toni L.P. Kelner says -

"This past couple of weeks I've been working on a short story for Death's Excellent Vacation, the next anthology Charlaine and I are editing. The anthology is all about supernatural beings on vacation, kind of an urban fantasy beach book. And even before we decided to do this anthology, I'd had this character in mind to write a short story about: "Pirate Dave." Read Toni's post on the writing of" Pirate Dave's Haunted Amusement Park"

Katie MacAlister has short story entitled:'The Perils of Effrijim' featuring the demon Jim from the Dragon books.

Sharan Newman says -

I'm one of the "and others" but the others are so accomplished that I"m happy to be among them.  It was fun to write fantasy again.  My story is about a group of American leprechans at a family reunion in Ireland.

 Lilith Saintcrow says -

My story, The Heart Is Always Right, focuses on a gargoyle who wants to visit Fiji.

Sarah Smith will also have a story about Superman and the Eight Immortals, "The Boys Go Fishing"
