PENUMBRA: Speculative Fiction from the Pacific Northwest offers an eclectic mix of urban fantasy, social science fiction, “close encounters,” gothic supernatural tales, post-apocalypse stories and other speculative works which defy easy categorization. Guest Editor Cat Rambo writes: "PENUMBRA couldn’t have come from anywhere but the Pacific Northwest, not just because of the subject matter, but because of the mindset: a willingness to entertain the wacky or strange, to accept that one’s taxidermist has been abducted by aliens, that military troops are occupying Bainbridge Island, or that an elevator can carry one sideways to find true love."
PENUMBRA includes Elsa's ghost story Morestone House.

DOG DAYS - Coming June 2012!
Café owner Jessica Sheldon’s fear of canines hardly makes her a dog person. After the incident in her café the year before in which a dog almost destroyed her café, she’s been labeled the “dog hater” of Madrona, a town that’s famous for its annual dog festival, Woofinstock. Her life takes a turn at the start of Woofinstock when she rescues Zoë, a white German shepherd who can’t find her way home. When both Jessica and Zoë are struck by lightning in the town square, the unbelievable happens—the two switch bodies.
Published by Tor/Forge, DOG DAYS will be available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, and your local bookstore. Check back for online purchasing information.
"I was lucky enough to be an early reader of this book. It's exactly the kind of novel I can't wait to share with fellow readers - I wanted to wave it in everyone's face, saying, 'You must read this!' Dog Days is everything I love in a book – funny, tender, beautifully crafted and cleverly plotted, with a perfect twist of an ending I didn't see coming."
- Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Drop everything and read this book! Watson's rendering of the inner life of a dog is pitch perfect. We all wonder what our dogs would do if they had thumbs...now we know. Zoe (dog to human) and Jessica (human to dog) are an unforgettable and unique take on the buddies by accident story. Brava!"
- Susan Wilson, author of One Good Dog |
