| Dear Friends,
I hope this newsletter finds you well! There has been a lot of activity at Fairwood Press recently. To start, I've welcomed Adriene Loska to our staff. Adrienne will be heading up public relations and marketing, which includes promoting new titles as well as producing this newsletter as we have book releases and other news to share with you.
It's not often I can offer Fairwood Press fans so many books in such a short time. Two years ago, at World Fantasy in Austin, Texas, I managed to debut three books. At the time I said, "If I ever consider doing three books at the same time again, just shoot me!" So here it is two years later, and at this year's WFC in Calgary, Alberta, I'll be premiering four new books! (There will also be a new Talebones issue.) But just take a look at these new titles. I think you'll agree I just had to get them all ready in time for this big venue. So without further ado, I'll let you read on.

In nineteen ventures into the future, Mark Rich moves from a moving moment during human-alien contact, in "Across the Sky" ... to madcap conflict between Human and Vegetable, in the antic "Foggery" ... to a vision of life in Venusian orbit, in "The Apples of Venus" - the story SF giant Robert Silverberg called "science fiction in the classic mode, a contemporary version of the sort of work that makes old-timers speak with warm nostalgia of John W. Campbell's famous magazine Astounding Science Fiction of fifty years ago."

The Collected Short Fiction, Volume 2
Trade Paper
304 pgs.
$15.00 USD plus S&H
Available for preorder.
Ships November 2008.
The Gods Perspire is Volume Two of a two-volume exhaustive collection of the short fiction of Ken Rand. Volume One, Where Angels Fear, debuted earlier this year. Rand's stories are packed with punch, and his creative imagination is on display whether writing "darker" serious fiction or light-hearted romps. In this "light" collection, Rand shows his particular talent for light comedy. He is a long-time writer, teacher, and master of the fantastic. This, along with the first volume, makes for a nice fat collection to give you your money's worth.

Available for preorder
Ships November 2008
"The Exquisite Corpuscle" is a variant of a parlor game played by Salvador Dali and the other Surrealists. In the game we're playing here, we start with the phrase "The Exquisite Corpuscle." The first entry is a painting by co-editor Frank Wu. Frank hands off the painting to the next person, who writes a story, then it gets passed on (without the painting) to the next person, who then writes a poem. Each person works in a different medium than the person before. Three separate chains work their way to a point until co-editor Jay Lake writes a single unifying story. A last art piece brings the game to a close.
Features: Kenneth Brady, Alan DeNiro, Richard Doyle, Michaela Eaves, M.C.A. Hogarth, Michael J. Jasper, Jay Lake, Aurora Lemieux, Kristin Livdahl, Mary Anne Mohanraj, Tim Pratt, Bruce Holland Rogers, Benjamin Rosenbaum, Nigel Sade, Maia Sanders, Heather Shaw, Diana Sherman, Gary W. Shockley, Christina Sng, Matt Taggart, Greg van Eekhout, & Frank Wu.
