The days get longer and the ice melts away and we all have Spring plans here at Silver Bark Books. Talia Tethers released ‘Duels of Desire’ and Caldon Mull announced ‘Preacherman’, while Marie M. Mullany announced that a Fourth Book in the Sangwheel Chronicles is on underway. Also dates may now be added to a number of projects that were frozen during the Pandemic (remember that thing?) and never re-started, so things look rosy right now.
What about things that didn’t get off the ground, the projects that went back onto the pile? I mean, its never good news all the time and only the good news, that would be silly. The solarpunk and the dieselpunk books, as well as a big collection of shorts, essays and author notes just slowly starved of oxygen in the corner while we were busy doing other things. Three short stories and two novelettes ran out of available editor allocation, and a ‘compleat’ -style boxed set failed at the cover and branding stages. Maybe, perhaps later in the year.
Otherwise, that is just a short ‘we’re still here…’ message and perhaps a placeholder as we try to sort out numerous Amazon issues and Goodreads issues that have cropped up in the last little while. I am also tempted to weigh in on the Hugo’s, but won’t for a little while.
Keep writing and welcome to Spring 2024!
