Dec 03, 2013 - ‘Bombshells’ Lands!

Today marks the release date of “Bombshells,” a novella from Molly Carpenter’s point of view, set between Ghost Story and Cold Days! It’s a part of the anthology Dangerous Women, edited by George R. R. Martin and Garner Dozois. You can pick up a copy in hardcover or Kindle in our store, download the audiobook from Audible, or support your favorite local independent bookstore!

You can also check out a podcast interview with Jim about Ghoul, Goblin, the original graphic novel story released in hardcover last week. It’s streaming on Publishers Weekly.com, or you can download it on iTunes. If you haven’t picked up a copy of Ghoul, Goblin yet, it’s also in our store!

Next, an exciting announcement: With a delightfully spooky 16,666 votes, Cold Days won the 2013 Goodreads Choice Award for Paranormal Fantasy! Thanks so much to all who voted, and congratulations to the other winners!

Aww man, now I need someone to buy the whole anthology just so I can read "Bombshells"

It's not available at OverDrive (well, the audiobook version is). Not even for recommending, and I did check.

Priscilla Spencer's Summary

Priscilla studied Digital Media Design at the University of Pennsylvania, a select major which fused Engineering, Computer Science, Fine Arts, and Communications. Upon graduation, she was hired as a 3D modeler, rigger, texture painter, and occasional coder at Launch, an animation firm in NYC, where she remained for 4 1/2 years. In her free time, she illustrated maps for four acclaimed fantasy series, contributed an essay to the "Whedonistas" anthology (and read portions aloud to a packed audience at the Way Station in Brooklyn), founded a charity program for fighting breast cancer while supporting noteworthy writers, and was brought on as a continuity monitor for authors Jim Butcher and Seanan McGuire, scrutinizing nine novels, two dozen short stories and novellas, four graphic novels, and hefty chunks of three role-playing game volumes. She recently moved to L.A. to earn her Master's in Film and Television Production from USC, because she apparently did not have enough interests.

I'd recommend that you (as I did) take a 1/2 to 1 hour break in what you're reading and read just "BOMBSHELLS"! I found doing so to be highly enjoyable and quite rewarding.

When I saw Molly's new and totally cute Christmas picture I decided that Harry needed a hat like hers in addition to his Christmas tree!
