Did someone say new covers?

Hellooooo everyone! It’s been a while, but we’re back to blogging and ready to announce some awesome news! Well ... lots of pieces of awesome news, honestly.

We just looked up and we have a REAM of new covers sitting around. Three of our authors will be doing cover reveals for their upcoming novels in the coming weeks, and we could not be more excited! We’ll see Tash McAdam’s cover for Maelstrom, the highly anticipated sequel to SLAM and our second taste of the captivating world of the Psionics. We’ll also reveal the cover for Mary Fan’s Flynn Nightsider and the Edge of Evil, where we’ll meet Flynn Nightsider and see him battle the government with a group of allies he'd never imagined. Finally, we can’t wait to show you the cover for A Rebel’s Stone, the much-awaited second installation in PT McHugh’s Stone Ends series.

Plus PLUS we have another StoryTime coming up this summer, and covers for ... oh wait. We're supposed to save that news for next week. As it is, the number of covers we have ready are causing almost too much excitement to take! Bloggers, please let us know if you’d like to be involved in cover reveals this summer! Email us at abby.keeble@glasshousepress.com for details, and we’ll hook you up.

What's new at GHP?

Hello, my lovelies! I know it's been a long time since we posted anything, and deep apologies for that, but we've been doing All The Things. So this blog will ... well, catch you up on all the news.

First and foremost, we have another StoryTime coming! This one is going to include Mary Fan's start to her new series, Fated Stars, with the novella Tell Me My Name. We also have Tash McAdam's first Glass House offering with SLAM, from The Psionics, and JF Jenkins' novella Ace, from The Tracings. We're UBER excited to get these out there, and will be having some sort of cover extravaganza at the end of the month for the reveal. Bloggers, let us know if you want to be involved!

Our spring line for 2015 is looking strong, with Flynn Nightsider and the Edge of Evil (Mary Fan), Soul Bound (Linda Foster), and A Rebel's Stone (PT McHugh) all in editing and moving right along. We have covers for Soul Bound and Rebel already in house, and the word on the street is that we MIGHT do a big cover reveal party when we have the Flynn cover done...

And for the BIG news, Glass House is very pleased and proud and excited and ... well, kind of overwhelmed, to announce that we've just signed a couple of new authors -- Kara Leigh Miller and David Jemal. They're co-authoring a really dark and twisty dystopian series about prisons, fighting for right, and the friends you make on the paths you choose, and we're IN LOVE with it. We might have fallen all over ourselves getting it signed, actually ... but we won't tell if you won't. Point being, they're all signed into our house now, and the first book -- Inferno -- will be coming in 2015. Check out Kara's blog for more info.

We're ALSO in the midst of signing a new contract with Tash McAdam for a second series -- Warp Weavers. There have always been warps -- tears between dimensions -- and so there will be those who hold back the hordes waiting on the other side ... warriors, warlocks, and weavers to stitch the world back together. The gift of the Warp chooses who it will. You can't escape destiny if it follows you around, opening doors to things that will kill everyone you love. We're ridiculously excited about this new series, as well.

Okay ... I think that's it. Watch for more news on Kara and David, and be sure to find everyone on FB or Twitter to keep up with the goings on! Happy Friday (we're sure glad to see it...).
