We do like a good charity and finding a way to support one through book sales is one of our favourite things to do. After last year’s campaign to support Freedom Service Dogs of America with a pre-order campaign for Wendy N Wagner’s An Oath of Dogs we’re going to do another pre-order campaign, this time for Sean Grigsby‘s Smoke Eaters!

As you may have seen, author of Kojiki and Kokoro, Keith Yatsuhashi, was at SFF convention Arisia in Boston last week. Turns out he had so much fun we asked him to write just a little guest post about his experience, which he did!

“Sisters, sisters, never met such devoted sisters. Caring, sharing… umm, becoming bandits and scaring…” Okay, so our dastardly duo aren’t quite the sisters depicted in Irving Berlin’s classic but trust us, you’ll want to get to know these two and their hustling ways!
Luckily, the wait won’t be long as The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath hits shelves this April. And now we’ve an excellent cover to show off – as well as an exclusive excerpt of the prologue and first chapter – over on the B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog.

The new cover for Jeff Noon‘s The Body Library has arrived and it’s just as wonderful as you’d expect. Our thanks, as always, to Amazing15 for such a great design.
The Body Library continues the adventures of John Nyquist – who we first met in last August’s A Man of Shadows – as he enters a city where stories take on a life of their own.

The Open Door 2017 has now closed. Thank you, thank you to everyone who submitted their proposals over the last two months. A last-day flurry, notably amongst folks for whom GMT is something of an alien concept, meant that we decided to keep the way open for a few more hours. Well done to anyone who was able to sneak in under the metal shutters just before they rattled down.
