With only a couple of weeks to go until our big launch of Love, Time, Space, Magic at Ad Astra Science Fiction Convention, it’s time to give our readers a sneak peek at the anthology!

As such, we are now open for pre-orders on Kobo and iBooks, and a free sample of Victoria Feistner’s story, Melanie in the Underworld, is now available in our samples section on the top navigation bar.

Victoria’s contribution to the anthology is a daring and adventurous tale of one woman who will do anything to bring back her deceased love. Drawing from roots in classical mythology, Victoria has pulled a timeless tale of love and loss squarely into twenty-first century Toronto, with plenty of cheeky surprises even for the mythology sticklers out there.

So have a peek, and let us know what you think. Let the pre-orders begin!

Come to the Launch… We’ve Got Cookies…

You know you want to.

When I posted the bounteous mountain of Japanese candy sent to us for the Love, Time, Space, Magic launch party by Pop Seagull author Clint Spivey, you went nuts.

Seriously. I got more hits, and likes, and follows, from those candy pics than I ever would have predicted. So you, the reading public, like candy. I totally get that.

That is why I have upped the ante on my candy. Oh yeah, you read right. Not only will we have a custom cover art cake, and tons of Japanese candy… we will now be giving away home baked cookie prize baskets to a few lucky attendees.

I will post photos of these delicious masterpieces as they are made.

Love, Time, Space, Magic… a super sweet book, with a super-duper sweet launch party.

Praise for Distant Early Warning… Yay!

Book, Distant Early Warning, Elizabeth Hirst, fan response, fan thanks, fantasy, paranormal, praise, reader review, review, reviews

So, I know I’ve been posting a lot about Love, Time, Space, Magic, and the launch lately, but during all of the hustle and bustle of getting our new baby ready for the world, we missed some majorly awesome praise for our last title, Distant Early Warning!

Since we’ve been working so hard lately, I thought I’d share some of the wonderful feedback we’ve had lately, from readers just like you, about Distant Early Warning:

“I think this book is well-written and compelling. It uses the “zombie invasion” backdrop for a very different story about family and finding a place where you belong… if you’re looking for a book with a lot of references to Canadian life/culture, it’s great for that! I enjoyed the descriptions of things I could relate you. If you’re also looking for a book with references to geek culture then this book brings that too…thus far it’s the best self-published book I’ve ever read, and I’m really glad I bought it!”

-Rai

I loved Distant Early Warning! I look forward to hopefully reading more about Denny!

-Suzanne

Thanks, Rai and Suzanne! Rai also had some great constructive suggestions that I’m really glad fans are open enough to share with me. I’m just overjoyed to be part of this community of readers, and I can’t wait to bring you more, both from myself and the wonderful selection of other authors that are growing the Pop Seagull family.

Tomorrow… cookies!
