The launch party has been set KC Ball’s “Snapshots from a Black Hole & Other Oddities” — Friday, January 20 at 7pm, at Rustycon, the scifi and fantasy convention taking place January 20-22 in Seattle. And you’re invited!
Rustycon (www.rustycon.com) has been running for 28 years and we’re proud to launch the book there. We also have a new co-sponsor: Every Day Fiction! How exciting is that! Every Day Fiction is also publishing work by KC Ball — under the imprimatur “Every Day Novels” (www.everydaynovels.com), they’ll be publishing “Lifting Up Veronica,” KC’s first novel. The novel will be published in a unique format: one “bite-sized chapter” a day for fifteen weeks, and you can read it on a subscription basis for a mere $5.
The launch party begins on or about 7:00pm. We don’t have a set format yet, but we expect KC will do a reading sometime about 8:00. There will also be booze (bring your ID) and munchies and door prizes and books for sale.
Mark your calendars!

Hydra House is proud to present “Snapshots from a Black Hole & Other Oddities” by K.C. Ball. This is the debut collection of short stories by a writer of extraordinary insight and complexity. Twenty four stories take you through alternate history, other dimensions, orbiting garbage collectors, dinosaurs–no two stories are the same.

“Snapshots” will be released on February 1, 2012, but pre-orders are now being taken through January 19, 2012, at the discounted price of $12.00+s/h. That’s 20% off the cover price of $14.95! Order now.

Mary Rosenblum calls the collection “like opening a great box of chocolates. Whether you like nuts or crème centers, zombies or a dark love triangle, you’re going to find your favorite.”
