Wow, has this year been a busy roller coaster or what?
Between publishing and promoting Whispering
Minds, Winter’s Regret, and Battery Brothers and preparing for the
release of Billy Bobble Makes a Magic
Wand in December, I’ve barely had any time to blog.
But ever since I established Elephant’s Bookshelf Press, I
have been determined to use this blog not only to highlight EBP writers but
also share with others information about the many talented writers I’ve gotten
to know over the years, regardless of their relationship to EBP.
To frequenters of my other online writing home, AgentQuery Connect, Joyce Alton is
known as Clippership. She’s the moderator of what is probably the most popular
group on AQC, the Speculative Fiction Forum. In my opinion, she treats it like
a full-time job, which as most of us writers know tends to take away from our
own writing time.
Clip is preparing to release her latest work, Trefury: Mendi’s Curse, the first part
of a trilogy, which will be released in September. I’m honored to share with
you the cover of the book, a space fantasy in which Thssk, a cunning and
dangerous six-thousand year-old norhendra,
has unwittingly caused the near extinction of his people. To rescue a boy who
is pursued by his enemies, Thssk must partner with a human named Cortnee Feyandihar
who is skilled and fiercely loyal but reckless and unpredictable. Their partnership
may be as unlikely to succeed as their quest, but it is their last best option
to achieve their goals.
I look forward to checking it out!
In the meantime, check out the cover and visit Joyce’s
various homes around the Web.
