Floods Affecting Publishing Schedule

The region of Missouri where IFWG Publishing's headquarters is based, has been subject to severe flooding.

Consequently, several titles expected to be published in May and June 2011 will be disrupted.

We will soon provide a 2 month forward schedule of some of our excellent new titles.

IFWG Author Wins Prominent Fiction Award

IFWG Publishing are pleased indeed, that one of our newest authors, Larry Ivkovich (his novel, The Sixth Precept, will be published later this year), has won the 2010 ChiZine Publishing/Rannu Fund Award for fiction.

We are very aware that ChiZine Publishing is a highly prestigious small publisher, and their magazine, ChiZine: Treatments of Light and Shade, is one of only a handful of speculative fiction magazines that are recognized by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America professional organization, for membership entry.

Congratulations Larry!

Correction re: SQ Magazine #2

Folks, we found out today that our print and PDF versions of SQ Magazine #2 (not the ebooks) incorrectly attributed one of the illustrations inside (the girl with whip) to Tim Larsen, when it should have been to Exchael Agus. Tim, of course, has other wonderful illustrations inside. Both these artists' work, as well as the graphic novel, Kaina Pt 1, were reproduced in the magazine by kind permission of Artyrian Entertainment. 

Corrections are being made as soon as practicable, with minimal resultant disruption to production.

We want to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to Exchael Angus as well as Artyrian Entertainment, for this error.

MF Burbaugh's novel, We Were Legends nearing release

IFWG Publishing is pleased to announce that MF Burbaugh's second title with us, a science fiction novel, We Were Legends, will be released in Kindle and EPUB format within the week, shortly followed by print and PDF.

Synopsis:

Jake is a NASA pioneer pilot in a newly developed one-man explorer ship who takes to the stars to escape torment. Odds of survival are less than four in ten, and it is believed NASA pads the statistics.

He is forced to crash on an unknown planet that is dying, as its star gets colder in defiance of the laws of physics. Jake begins his survival quest with a few technological items from his ship and a still-functioning computer. It gets more complex when he rescues a beautiful girl and struggles to overcome the life and death challenges of the planet's inhabitants, mega-fauna, and extreme climate. He discovers a few of Earth's ancient stories of gods and demi-gods that are embroiled in hate, vanity, and what some call magic, are more than myths.

With success or failure, Jake proves that legends are made, not born.

Review of Elizabeth Lang's THE EMPIRE, by All Books Review Intl.

    "It will be interesting to discover which will make you beg. Will it be the pain or the pleasure?"

    The brilliantly intelligent scientist; Adrian Stannis suddenly finds himself pulled away from the walls he put up in his own mind, to keep him in solitude. Trapped doing research on a small science vessel far away from others, he finds that for once he must rely on friends he never wanted to make, in order to succeed. Everything he once knew seems to have been destroyed as he's pushed into the middle of political rebellion and an alien invasion. After a strange kind of torture, he is pushed even farther from other beings but his freedom and even his life may depend on the trust he finds so hard to create.

    Elizabeth Lang has created a wonderful story of intrigue and twists and turns that I couldn't put down from the moment I picked it up. The story was interesting and compelling, pushing me towards the end hastily. As an avid reader Ms. Lang has had a passion for science fiction and fantasy since she was young and her love for these things was obvious throughout the well written pages of her work. The characters were well developed, and you could see the differing thought processes in each person and how much they were affected by the situation. I truly began to believe in these characters as I read The Empire; they communicated so realistically amongst each other and had appealing personalities to read about. Elizabeth Lang began her writing career later in life, but once she started she just couldn't stop and I certainly hope that doesn't change, because her words are wonderful. 

    Overall, I was very pleased with The Empire and I found it to be quite an adventure, leaving me wanting more. Hopefully, I will be able to read her other novels and complete the story because I continue to wonder what might happen next. Elizabeth Lang has created a story that will appeal to people on many levels and I hope that she continues writing wonderful stories like this.The Empire is highly recommended by Kirsten Bussière,  www.allbooksreviewint.com
