seanan_mcguireI am pleased to announce that my first non-fiction book, consisting of essays taken from my various blogs and poetry from my two self-published chapbooks (Leaves From the Babylon Wood and Pathways Through the Babylon Wood, both of which are loooooooooong out of print) is available now from NESFA Press.
Click here for information on Letters to the Pumpkin King.
With introductions by Catherynne Valente and Elizabeth Bear, and an absolutely gorgeous cover by David Palumbo (I covet this artwork), I could not be more pleased. It's a hardcover, so the price point is high for what is essentially my blog in paper form, but you can use that paper form to kill spiders, which is pretty damn cool.
Here is what some people say. All of them are biased toward liking me, so:
"This book is bursting with Seanan-brain. You should read it." —Jim C. Hines, author of Libriomancer.
"Seanan McGuire knows how to beguile with the very best. She can whisper spells and secrets by the ballad and the bushel. But here she simply tells it as she has seen and lived it, with bravery and a loud voice, and that is magic, too." —Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon In Two.
"Seanan is rough and potent magic. Her work may not change you, but it is likely to change your experience of the world." —Elizabeth Bear, author of Stiles of the Sky.
"I've read Seanan’s fiction and nonfiction for years. Because she's smart. Because she's funny. Because she's insightful. Because she uses the word 'f***' in original and interesting ways." —Jim C. Hines, author of Libriomancer.
Letters to the Pumpkin King! Get your copy today! (And yes, Borderlands is planning to stock them, if you're coming to the release party.)

Date: 2014-02-24 09:22 pm (UTC)And because these things catch my eye every time, I do hope that the typo where EBear wrote "Stiles of the Sky" was yours in this post, and not actually from the copy on the book.

I cannot order it this second -- because what passes for my budget is trying to protect the rent money -- but I will get it soon.

Date: 2015-02-24 06:48 am (UTC)When most books went into storage for moving, that one stayed out. I have read and reread my signed copy of Pumpkin King, and it's been dragged everywhere in my backpack. How could I not? It has poetry and the blog's greatest hits to reread. Some people would keep their specially inscribed first editions on a shelf, pristine and untouched (this is an alien idea to me, but I've heard of it).
I believe books -- even and especially those -- were meant to be loved, handled, and even (occasionally) lost or stolen. If the latter happens, I will buy more copies.
