Adventures at Boskone

Pink Narcissus Press — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:18:02 +0000

This past weekend, my editor Dr. Bill and I were most likely to be found lurking in the Huckster room at Boskone, where we shared a table with the delightful John Edward Lawson of Raw Dog Screaming Press. If you happened to be walking through the Huckster Room and a man you didn’t know shouted a random compliment at you, that would be Dr. Bill. He’s very friendly, plus he does tend to notice things he likes.

Real Elf Love

One thing Dr. Bill noticed before I did was the appearance of some elves, which he heralded with the rather loud exclamation of “Elves!” Fortunately, they had seen a print of Duncan Eagleson’s Elf Love cover art on display in the art show, and were apparently looking for us, so Dr. Bill didn’t scare them off. As you can see, this led to the BEST. PHOTO. OP. EVER. Most graciously, Mr. Spencer Chamberlain and his lady Gaberial Darling agreed to mimic the pose on the cover, while holding a copy of the book. As they make their own costumes, I’m pretty sure I will faint from excitement if I see them dressed up like the elves on the cover of our book.

Bridge Troll by Duncan Eagleson

As you may know, our art director does much more than supply us with beautiful covers for our books, put up with my incessant rants and irrational demands, and dress in a manner most frequently referred to as “dapper”. Besides a small selection of prints, he brought several of his sculptures to the art show. His Bridge Troll, pictured here, won the Judges’ Choice award! Many congratulations to Duncan for his outstanding work. If you’re interested in seeing more of what Duncan does, you can check out some of his other work over here.

All in all, we sold some books, met some interesting folk, and had some fun. Next up: Balticon!

“Court of Dreams” now available!

Pink Narcissus Press — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:34:00 +0000

Pink Narcissus Press is proud to announce the official release of Court of Dreams, a British comic fantasy novel by Stuart Sharp.

From Publishers Weekly: “Since the great otherworldly war among the supernatural Courts, the Court of Dreams isn’t supposed to interfere with the world of mortals. That hasn’t stopped the queen’s daughter, Siobhan, from sending the Court’s gigantic huntsman, Grave, to kill off the handful of half-human, half-magical offspring of the Courts’ denizens. Thomas Greene, fresh out of university and (he thinks) newly divested of his girlfriend, Nicola, is one of these half-breeds. Fleeing Grave, he and Nicola break through the walls between the worlds and fall into the Court of Dreams.”

Court of Dreams is recommended for fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Tom Holt, and is suitable for readers aged 14 and up.

Available wherever books are sold. Some links:

Amazon in the US: Kindle or paperback.

Amazon in the UK: Kindle or paperback.

Paperback also available from Barnes and Noble, or direct from our website.

People With Holes: Stories by Heather Fowler

Pink Narcissus Press — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:31:23 +0000

Pink Narcissus Press is proud to announce the acceptance of People With Holes, a new collection of magical realism stories by the talented Heather Fowler.

60% of the profit from sales of Fowler’s book will be donated to the V-Day movement to end violence against women and girls.

Coming in Fall 2012

The world is full of platitudes about the marks left on us by love, but Heather Fowler knows love doesn’t leave footprints in sand or soft whispers on summer breezes. Love leaves holes in us all, whether they are shot through by a modern-day William Tell’s arrows, chiseled out by a very necessary beheading, or slowly eroded over moments of anxiety in airplane parking lots. People With Holes tells the stories of unusual people with unusual loves, and once you have read their stories, you’ll see right through them… and into your own heart.
