Elizabeth Lang's The Empire

Here is the front cover of Elizabeth Lang's science fiction novel, The Empire, out next month. We are very excited by this title, as it isn't a run-of-the-mill epic scifi - while it is epic in backdrop, the story is strong in characterization and intrigue, and delves deep into human fragility... as well as strength.



Stay tuned for the release date very soon.

eNovella to be released in December 2010

MF Burbaugh is an exciting author who has joined our fold. We are publishing a science fiction novel of his in January next year. However, we were entranced with a novella he also wrote and just had to publish it - it is called Circle of Seven and is whimsical and very exciting. It has elves, gnomes, fairies and much more, and yet it has battles in space. It would be unfair to say much more... just watch out for it, and do yourself a favor and buy it!

It is a very readable 42k in word count and because of this, this will be the first of an uncommon number of books that will only be published for electronic readers.

His bio/blurb page can be found at: http://ifwgpublishing.weebly.com/bio-mf-burbaugh.html

The Weekly IFWGP Q&A

Here's a little something for you guys to get involved in!

As of this Sunday, this blog will be host to a weekly writing Q&A, courtesy of me, Esme Carpenter, and your burning writing questions. Having problems with characterisation? Lost the sparkle in the long-haul? Or just not sure where to start? Wondering how we at IFWGP started writing, or where we get our inspiration from?

Send me your questions at esmecarpenter@ifwgpublishing.com, and every Sunday I'll pick the best ones and answer them right here on the blog. Then, from your comments, we'll be able to help each other answer those tricky questions.

So get sending me your queries, and I'll get answering them!

EDIT: Okay, I misspelled the e-mail address, so we'll restart the questions and get them answered next Sunday! Apologies!
