Darkness Visible by P. G. Janssen : “In an alternate version of London in 1895, a few talented people can travel instantly between locations through Thresholds – tears in the fabric of reality. Lord Henry Lewis is a Warden, working to close dangerous Thresholds to prevent the sickness that flows from the darkness outside reality.” (May 2011)

Rex Riders by J.P. Carlson & illustrated by Jim Calafiore: “Dinosaurs: big, bad, compelling. It’s the first exhibit everyone wants to see at museums from Alberta, to New York, to Mexico City. And it’s not just here in North America. Dinosaurs are a global phenomenon firing the imaginations of people of every age around the world. But what if they weren’t extinct?” (June 2011)

Shaken: Stories for Japan by Brett Battles, Cara Black, Vicki Doudera, Dianne Emley, Dale Furutani, Timothy Hallinan, Stefan Hammond, Rosemary Harris, Naomi Hirahara, Wendy Hornsby, Ken Kuhlken, Debbi Mack, Adrian McKinty, I.J. Parker, Gary Phillips, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Jeffrey Siger, Kelli Stanley, C.J. West, and Jeri Westerson: “This collection was born out of the writers’ concern for the people in the disaster zone. This book is an attempt by writers to pool their talents to help people in need, as musicians and actors so often do.” (June 2011)
