(ISBN 9781783291779 $9.95)
Jerry Cornelius is a scientist, a rock star, and an assassin. He
is the hippest adventurer of them all: tripping through a pop
art nightmare in which kidnappings, murder, sex and drugs
are a daily occurrence. Along with his savvy and ruthless
partner-in-chaos, Miss Brunner, Cornelius is on a mission to
control a revolutionary code for creating the ultimate human
being, a modern messiah— the final programme.
The first book in the Cornelius Quartet is the groundbreaking
introduction to the misadventures and vendettas of Jerry
Cornelius, one of modern literature’s most distinctive
characters, the product of a bewildering post-modern culture,
and an inspiration for generations of characters since.

of This: A Life In Music by
Dave Stewart, Foreword by
Mick Jagger (ISBN
9780451477682 $28.00)
From “the musician’s musician”
(Rolling Stone), an intimate look at
the Eurythmics and thirty-year
Grammy-winner’s career as a
performer, songwriter, and producer.
Dave Stewart’s life has been a wild
ride—one filled with music, constant
reinvention, and the never-ending
drive to create. Now the prolific
musician, songwriter, and producer
behind Eurythmics and dozens of pop
hits shares the never-before-told
stories of his life in music—the drugs
and the parties, the A-list
collaborations and relationships, and
the creative process that brought us
blockbusters like Tom Petty’s “Don’t
Come Around Here No More,” Bon
Jovi’s “Midnight in Chelsea,” and
Celine Dion’s “Taking Chance.” With
a behind-the-scenes look at Stewart’s
innovative endeavors that keep him on the cutting-edge of the music business, this is a
one-of-a-kind glimpse into the creative heart of one of its most gifted and enterprising
contributors.

the sequel to Finn Fancy Necromancy
Bigfootloose & Finn Fancy Free: A darkly funny urban fantasy by
Randy Henderson (ISBN 9780765378101 $25.99)
Randy Henderson continues his dark and quirky urban
fantasy series set in a world of arcane beings hidden
among the mundane townies of Port Townsend,
Washington
In this sequel to Randy Henderson's acclaimed debut novel,
Finn Fancy Necromancy (ISBN 9780765385659
$15.99), Finn Gramaraye is settling back into the real
world after his twenty-five-year-long imprisonment in the
otherworld of the Fey. He's fallen in love with a woman from
his past, though he worries she may love a version of him
that no longer exists. He's proved his innocence of the
original crime of Dark Necromancy, and he's finding a place
in the family business--operating a mortuary for the Arcane,
managing the magical energies left behind when an Arcane
being dies to prevent it from harming the mundane world.
But Finn wants more. Or different. Or something. He's figured out how to use the
Kinfinder device created by his half-mad father to find people's True Love, and he'd like
to convert that into an Arcane Dating Service. It's a great idea. Everyone wants True
Love! Unfortunately, trouble always seems to find Finn, and when he agrees to help his
friend, the Bigfoot named Sal, they walk right into a Feyblood rebellion against the
Arcane Ruling Council, a rebellion being fomented by unknown forces and fueled by the
drug created by Finn's own grandfather.
I, personally, am looking forward to this as I really enjoyed Finn Fancy

Pan, it’s the worst humiliation imaginable! Worse than that,
the body of flesh and blood that he waited thousands of years

unable to partake in earthly pleasures. Jack Burton must pay!

Monstrous Little Voices: New Tales Shakespeare's Fantasy World
(ISBN 9781781083949 $9.99)
It is the time of Shakespeare. Storms rage, armies clash, magics are done - and stories
are made. Five new great and terrible tales reshape the Bard’s vision, a new set of
stories that will be told and retold down through the
centuries.
It is the Year of Our Lord 1601. The Tuscan War rages
across the world, and every lord from Navarre to Illyria is
embroiled in the fray. Cannon roar, pikemen clash, and
witches stalk the night; even the fairy courts stand on the
verge of chaos.
Five stories come together at the end of the war: that of bold
Miranda and sly Puck; of wise Pomona and her prisoner
Vertumnus; of gentle Lucia and the shade of Prospero; of
noble Don Pedro and powerful Helena; and of Anne, a
glovemaker’s wife. On these lovers and heroes the world
itself may depend.
Monstrous Little Voices collects five of today’s most exciting names in genre fiction –
Jonathan Barnes (The Somnambulist, Cannonbridge); Adrian Tchaikovsky (The
Shadows of the Apt, Children of Time); Emma Newman (The Split Worlds, multiple-
award-nominated Tea and Jeopardy podcast); Hugo-nominated blogger Foz Meadows
(Solace & Grief, The Key to Starveldt’s); and upcoming novelist (and journalist for the
Ottawa Citizen) Kate Heartfield – to delve into the world Shakespeare created for us.
With wars and romances, its magics and deceptions, discover five stories he never told,
but could have. Stories of what happened next or what went before, of the things
unseen or simply elsewhere in the world as Shakespeare’s own tales unfolded on the
stage.

ABC is jumping into the time-travel craze this season with a pilot green light
to Kevin Williamson’s Time After Time (ISBN 9780765326225 $19.99).
Time After Time, written/exec produced by
Williamson based on the 1979 novel by
Karl Alexander, chronicles the epic
adventures of young H.G. Wells and his
Time Machine using the book and its
feature adaptation as a starting point.
When Wells showed it off to his famous
friends―such as Henry James, Ford
Madox Ford and other literary lights of 1893
London, he never suspected that another
guest, his college friend, surgeon Leslie
John Stephenson, was in truth the infamous
Jack the Ripper. When Scotland Yard
detectives showed up at Wells's house to
inquire about Stevenson, Jack took the
machine and fled to the future―1979 San
Francisco. When the time machine, as
designed, returned to its point of origin,
Wells followed the Ripper to the future. Wells felt obligated to bring him
back to justice. Once in San Francisco, Wells realized that he also must
save that city . . . and a particular lovely young woman . . . from a new reign
of terror at the hands of the depraved, grisly Jack.

NBC has picked up the pilot for Powerless, from A To Z creator Ben Queen and
Warner Bros. TV. It evokes NBC’s signature comedy series The Office, but with
superheroes. Based on characters from DC Comics, Powerless is a workplace
comedy set at one of the worst insurance companies in America — with the twist being
that it also takes place in the universe of DC Comics. The show is about the reality of
working life for a normal, powerless person in a world of superheroes and villains.
The list of DC characters that will appear on the show is not expected to include the
biggest DC brands like Batman and Superman. The focus of the series is on the
ordinary, “power-less” folk working at the insurance company who often envy the men
and women outside their window who make headlines with their supernatural powers.
Queen is the writer/executive producer. Michael Patrick Jann is set to direct and exec
