Charles de Lint and John Scalzi Titles Head to the Printer
Two new titles have just been sent to the printer, which means they should be in stock and shipping in four to five weeks.
Promises to Keep is Charles de Lint’s 175 page novel about the early days of Jilly Coppercorn. As Booklist notes, “De Lint returns to Newford and Jilly Coppercorn’s youth, which readers of The Onion Girl and other Jilly stories know was extremely painful. The setting here is Jilly’s early college days. She is just beginning to put her abused past behind her. One evening she runs into her only friend from her days in a juvenile institution, one of the few who know her original name… De Lint presents Jilly’s choices, the memories impelling them, and the solution to the riddle of Donna in his characteristic powerful yet intimate style. Jilly’s reader friends, including those first meeting her, will be more than delighted.”
Also just sent to the printer is Old Man’s War by John Scalzi. The limited edition to the first novel by one of SF’s rising stars is limited to only 415 copies, featuring a full color dust jacket, and four full-color interior illustrations by Vincent Chong. We’re already hard at work on the second novel in the series, The Ghost Brigades, due out later this year.
