I was going to wait for this book to come out in ebook before ordering but then I saw that the cover was purple and had to have a physical book! And seeing as I was getting this one, I also ordered Nightsiders by Sue Isle (which I have read and enjoyed) and then upcoming release by Lucy Sussex which is titled Thief of Time. Each release will bring something unexpected to our subscriber’s mailboxes. Others are tasters of the range and style of the writer.
Some are quartet suites of linked stories. Each author has taken the brief of 4 stories and up to 40 000 words in their own direction. Varied across genre and style, each collection will offer four short stories and a unique glimpse into worlds fashioned by some of our favourite storytellers. The Twelve Planets are twelve boutique collections by some of Australia’s finest short story writers. Here is their description of what this series is all about: Love and Romanpunk is the second book in the Twelve Planets series that is being published by a small Australian publisher called Twelfth Planet Press. I first read her story Relentless Adaptations in the Sprawl anthology, and then she guest posted for me, and finally, on the strength of loving this short story collection I have also now purchased the first book in her Creature Court trilogy, Power and the Glory.īefore I talk any more about this particular collection, I wanted to talk about the series that this is part of. Some times when you read a new author, you just know that you are going to enjoy their books because you enjoy their voice! Tansy Rayner Roberts is one of those authors. Yes, you do have to wear the damned toga. Immortal heroes really don’t fancy teenage girls. Don’t let your little brother make out with silver-eyed blondes. Women named Julia are stronger than they appear. The world is in greater danger than you ever suspected.
(He didn’t even know she had a thing for pointy teeth.) It’s a sight to behold.įurther in the future, the last man who guards the secret history of the world will discover that the past has a way of coming around to bite you.
Sometime in the near future, a community will live in a replica Roman city built in the Australian bush. (If it was the poet you are thinking of, the story would have ended far more happily, and with fewer people having their throats bitten out.) Hundreds of years ago, Fanny and Mary ran away from London with a debauched poet and his sister. (It included more monsters than you might think.) The document was lost, or destroyed, almost immediately. Thousands of years ago, Julia Agrippina wrote the true history of her family, the Caesars.
