Welcome (back) to Bordertown

[Ellen Kushner]

Exactly one week from today sees the publication of a project very
dear to my heart, that has long been in the works:

WELCOME TO BORDERTOWN
a new anthology of interconnected stories and poems
by some of today's finest fantasists*
edited by
Holly Black & Ellen Kushner
with Introduction by the original series creator, Terri Windling
(Random House, May 24, 2011)

Already, the buzz and reviews have been amazing: We've just been
selected as a 2011 Summer Indie Next List Book for Teens - and our
*starred* Kirkus review says: "This is punk-rock, DIY fantasy, full
of harsh reality and incandescent magic - a masterful anthology."

Books should be on the shelves in stores beginning May 24th - before
then, you can get an amazing PRE-ORDER discount price at Amazon:

Holly Black & I will be signing books at NYC's celebrated childrens'/
YA bookstore, BOOKS OF WONDER, on Thursday, June 9th - along with
Bordertown authors Cory Doctorow, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Delia Sherman &
Annette Curtis Klause. You can order your own signed, inscribed copy
