Hey everyone,
Time for the quarterly check-in. Lots of good stuff happening.
UPCOMING RELEASES & ARCs
Richmond Fantastic: Shadowy Secrets from the Commonwealth’s Capital hits shelves (and e-readers) on October 6.
You’ll experience Greater Richmond in twisted and unexpected ways: a one-eyed black cat stalking the Poe Museum, a painting at the VMFA that opens a door to 1971 Paris, a portal to the Underworld at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, a demon hunting souls amid the Carytown Watermelon Festival, and plenty more.
Real Richmond landmarks, unreal stories.
Advanced Reader Copies are available right now on BookSirens. If you’d like an early look in exchange for an honest review, grab yours here.
You can also pre-order the ebook.
The Five People You Meet in Atlantic City (six tales of crime and mystery) releases November 3. ARCs for this collection are also available on BookSirens—same deal: free digital copy for an honest review.
OPEN CALL: VIRGINIA SIDEWAYS
Whitaker Lyon Press is now open for Virginia Sideways, our alternate-history anthology.
We’re looking for stories that twist Virginia’s past in interesting ways—Jamestown as a thriving Swedish colony, Robert E. Lee taking command of the Union Army, the Readjuster Party dominating for decades, Dr. J leading the Squires to five straight NBA titles… you get the idea.
Full guidelines and submission link are here:
