Re: Emerald City ComiCon 2015 Updated 03/18/15
Hey, guys. My fellow writers at Talaria Press have so much going on, we're putting up three separate blog posts to keep people in the loop. We've got new associates, new books AND a busy, busy schedule. It's just too much for one post.
Here's where we'll be and what we'll be doing on Friday:
http://talariapress.com/2015/03/19/schedule-post-friday-march-27-2015/
It’s one of our favorite times of year again, here at Talaria Press. No, not spring (though it is lovely in the Pacific Northwest). Nor is it just because Founder Heather is celebrating another birthday (seriously, didn’t we just DO this birthday thing?!). No… it’s time for
Emerald City Comicon once more and we have some fantastic surprises in store for you this year. New authors! New books! New artwork! This is the first of three posts (one for each day) that will give you all the pertinent details you need to be to find your favorite Talaria Press authors.
Location
All weekend, you can find us on the 6th floor in the
Writer’s Block area at tables JJ-05/06. We’re right next to legendary genre writer
Michael A Stackpole and epic fantasy powerhouse
Patrick Rothfuss.
New Authors
Emerald City Comicon 2015 marks the first ever appearance of our newest Associate Author,
Martin Schiller. Martin has independently-published a three-book military hard sci-fi series called the
Sisterhood of Suns. Set in the distant future, all members of humanity with a Y chromosome have been wiped out, leaving women alone among the stars which is just how they like it… or so it seems. A radical religious sect has set themselves on a path to reintroduce men, called NeoMen which causes all sorts of complications when the high court rules in favor of allowing one of these NeoMen to serve in an active combat unit! The narrative follows a veteran warship commander, a young colonist who joins the Marines to avenge her decimated colony, the NeoMan Marine, Jon, and a mysterious spy who upholds the interests of the Sisterhood at all costs.
Martin and the Talaria Press team are currently hard at work on revised and revamped editions of the
Sisterhood of Suns: Pallas Athena and the
Sisterhood of Suns: Widow’s War, the first of which will go to press later this year. We can’t
wait for you to see what we’ve done.
New Books – Garth Reasby
Good news for
Children of Divinity fans. Garth has just released the first ever
Children of Divinity Companion Anthology. Titled
ReAwakened, the book gives us reprints of two existing CoD stories which originally appeared in Founder’s Anthologies (
Jill’s Run and
It’s my Nature) and three brand new tales to expand the CoD experience and set up the next series of Jordan’s adventures.
New Artwork
Garth has also been hard at work creating gorgeous new posters to grace our table at the convention. We can’t wait for you to see them!
