We hate to say it

But Verb Noire needs to raise some cash to defray the expenses of WorldCon. We thought we could bridge the gap out of pocket, but money is tight and my kid’s face is expensive. So, we’re hoping book sales, merch sales, and anything else you guys want to suggest can make up the difference. We’re already putting together the second book (an anthology of short stories) and I was vaguely contemplating some sort of naming contest, but if that’s not what gets you excited then please suggest something. We really want to be there, but finding the money for attendance and such is putting a hurt on ye olde pocketbook.

And now a word from our sponsor...

Your ad could be here, right now.

    I just donated $25–I hope y’all can reach your goal!

    What kind of anthology will the second book be? Scifi/fantasy, or just general fiction?


  2. Karnythia Writes:

    Sci-fi stories. We got a bunch of really excellent submissions and originally we were going to release them individually, but then we got these poems and it all just came together.

    Cool! I’ve been looking for some new stuff to read now that I am done with school. Any idea on a release date?

    We’re planning to have it out next Friday. This assumes all of our plans go as we intend.
