It's News To Me #16

This will only be a short one. To be honest, I don't really know much about sff news this week as I have some big news myself and solely focusing on sleep and the little guy. If you head on over to Seak's Stamp, you can see a couple pics I've posted of the new addition to my family.

Thanks to everyone for all the well-wishes from my semi-announcement the other day. :)

Book Trailers

I got an email from Dante's Journey (review) author JC Marino about his new book trailer for that same book (which I loved) and here ya go:



Also, Alex J. Cavanaugh, who can be found all over the SFF blogging world has a new book out which I just received yesterday. It's called CassaStar and due out October 19, 2010. Here's his great new book trailer:



Reading That's Free


During July only, you can read The Choir Boats by Daniel A. Rabuzzi for free. It's described as a mix between Gulliver's Travels, The Golden Compass, and a bit of Pride and Prejudice (not and Zombies though). I added that last part. :)
This special edition of the novel includes bonus illustrations by Deborah A. Mills. It's also DRM-free, so it can be read on any device compatible with PDFs, and shared with friends just like a regular book.
This looks pretty interesting, thanks for the email Daniel.

And that's the news...at least to me.

So excited for CassaStar. It looks great on my shelf.

I only had a minute or two while Dylan slept on my lap. It was the cutest post prep I've yet to have. :D

I love this trailer of Dante's Journey. It is totally awesome! And congrats on being quoted.

I wanted to check in here with you all too, I had troubles with my email and lost some emails. But I think I had an email about reading unknown books/authors. I was hoping to join in on it. I have a new author I found on twitter and the books sounds interesting, after chatting with him, he is sending me his book. So thought I could take out two birds with one stone, if that is okay.

Trailer is very cool. Alex is doing a great job of creating a buzz for his release of Cassastar.

@Melissa - Congrats to you too! Being quoted is fun. :)

Yes, we'll give you some more information, but that's awesome that you're joining our challenge and good job taking out two birds with one stone, although I didn't realize you were so violent.

@Stephen - Definitely, Alex has a good presence in the blogosphere. He's been an active participant on blogs for a while and I know for me I already respect him a lot. That's moved his book on the massive "To-Read" pile quite a bit. :)

Great trailer! I'm new to blogging but I hope to join Alex in his awesomeness. I'm scared of things that growl...I'd better read it.
