I'm not familiar with Grossman's work, but I'll be happy to give it a shot, purely on the basis of the company he's keeping. 
The Way of the Corruptor (Arc ID 49834): Hey villains! Do something for yourself for a change--like twisting the elements to your will. All that's standing in your way are a few secret societies...and Champions of the four elements.

And I found one major error...you let ME do an arc!
Troy Hickman - So proud to have contributed to and played in this wonderful CoH universe
Not to be nit-picky(which of course means I am going to be exactly that) but perhaps some info on who these folks are and why players should care/be impressed that we are blessed with their arcs would be a good idea perhaps.

Each guest author entry has a fairly large "about the author" section with it if you click on it. That and you know, wiki is your friend.

Well, I did at my sister's wedding.
But, of course, they expect that of the groom...

In other news, looking forward to trying these new arcs out!! If they're half as good as mine......it will be a huge disappointment.

I'll be at the Rikti War Zone MA Building so both Heroes and Villains can join in. I think I'll ask everybody trivia questions to make the teaming up fairer, instead of randomly choosing people.

It's time for another round of guest author missions to be released, and we've got some great ones for you to choose from! In order to check out these arcs simply log into the game, find the nearest Architect Entertainment Building, and open up the mission browser.
Mercedes Lackey –
“Mystery on the Boardwalk” (arc id:369275) - Unbelievable Man is stuck on the phone with his needy girlfriend, so the Heroic ATemps Temp Agency has sent you over to handle this. It's only a little haunting, how hard can it be?
Troy Hickman –
“A Little Night Music” (arc id:369271) - Citadel needs your assistance. The Fifth Column have resurrected the dreaded WWII villain Nachtmusik, and he in turn has kidnapped Jimmy Preston. Citadel needs you to enter the dreamworld and save his young friend...and hopefully the world. You say you're not afraid? You will be...
Austin Grossman –
“Return of the Crime Cabal” (arc id:369272) - A routine distress call leads you into the conspiracy between three oddly mismatched villains - a dark wizard, a technologically enhanced agent, and a brilliant scientist. They seek to mingle the forces of magic and science to gain control of an ancient god from deep beneath the Earth's crust. But to oppose the Cabal it is necessary to understand its story, the forces that gave three very different people their superpowers and turned them to evil. The things that brought them together, and the things tearing them apart.
