Hello everyone and HAPPY SUNDAY! It’s a very special Sunday edition of the stash, because today is Ana’s birthday! HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAREST ANA BANANA!
Let’s get down to business so we can get down to cake, shall we?!
This Week on The Book Smugglers:
People–this is a big week. On Monday, we kick off the week with the publication of a short story! “Falling” by Susan Jane Bigelow is an interstitial short story, set between Broken (Book 1 in the Extrahuman Union series) and Sky Ranger (Book 2 in the series), and follows Sky Ranger in the aftermath of the collapse of the Extrahuman Union. The short story will be up for free here, and will also be included in the ebook edition of Sky Ranger (available 6/28).
On Tuesday–at long last!–we unveil the table of contents and cover for Speculative Fiction 2015, our ongoing annual collection of the best reviews, essays, and other nonfiction works about SFF.
Wednesday, we kick things into high gear with our Epic Harry Potter Re-Read. We’re up to BOOK 6–The Half Blood Prince. Shit’s getting real, people.
On Thursday, we are absolutely delighted to unveil the cover AND publish the very first volume of our newest venture as Book Smugglers. We present you with The Book Smugglers’ Quarterly Almanac, Volume 1. This volume includes original short stories from John Chu and Charles Payseur, plus features some most excellent fiction from Tansy Rayner Roberts, Susan Jane Bigelow, and Roshani Chokshi–not to mention lead essays from Genevieve Valentine, Sunil Patel, and more. We absolutely cannot wait to share the almanac with you!
On Friday, we close out the week with Thea’s review of YA historical fantasy novel Julia Vanishes by Catherine Egan.
And that’s it from us! Until tomorrow, we remain…
~ Your Friendly Neighborhood Book Smugglers
