First, some backstory. Martha Wells’ book Cloud Roads is one of my top picks for 2011. It’s imaginative and original, and every time I re-read it, I feel like I’m visiting friends who always have something fascinating to say. Just a few minutes ago, we received Wells’ Serpent Sea, which continues the adventures of the characters from Cloud Roads. So here’s the dilemma: Do I read it right away? Or hold off for a while?
Point for the latter: Savouring the anticipation
Point for the latter: I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!
Help me out here.
It may be a meagre amount, but there’s finally some snow on the ground here in Toronto. Yay! And since it finally feels suitably seasonal, here’s a gift for you. At least, here’s a gift for readers of Ilona Andrews’ ‘Kate Daniels’ series: a free Kate Daniels novella! Follow the link to Andrews’ page, and you can choose what format to read the story in.
I’m a big fan of the series, and was thrilled to bits to get a free novella. It really was like getting an unexpected gift. So, Ilona and Gordon: thank you very much!
… you needed a reason to take advantage of our 15% Off Everything sale*, how about this? We have new books!

Launches
We had a wonderful time with Caitlin Sweet last weekend, when we launched her new book The Pattern Scars. Thanks go out the CZP folks, and also to Sephera Giron for her amazing work with the cards. If you’re sad you missed the fun (and there was a lot of fun), don’t worry. Tanya Huff will be here this Saturday at 3pm to launch her new book The Wild Ways. You’re all invited to the party!
Photos
Speaking of Caitlin’s launch, um, does anyone have photos of the event? If you’d like to share a shot or two, please email them to chris (at) bakkaphoenixbooks (dot) com. Thanks!
