LitCrawl Junior with authors Kalyn Josephson, Katy Rose Pool, and Shannon Price, Sunday, July 14th at 3:30 pm - Thanks to Litquake for the following write-up!: "Litquake's Lit Crawl Junior is excited to welcome THREE debut YA authors to Borderlands, each with a brand-new or upcoming novel: Kalyn Josephson (THE STORM CROW), Katy Rose Pool (THERE WILL COME A DARKNESS) and Shannon Price (A THOUSAND FIRES). There will be readings and a panel about publishing.
Kalyn Josephson's brand-new fantasy novel, THE STORM CROWN (July 9, Sourcebooks) has been called ERAGON meets AND I DARKEN, and takes place in the tropical kingdom of Rhodaire, where magical crows are part of every aspect of life until they are invaded and the crows are destroyed. That terrible night throws Princess Anthia into a deep depression. Her sister Caliza is busy running the kingdom after their mother's death, but all Thia can do is think of all she has lost. But when Caliza is forced to agree to a marriage between Thia and the crown prince of Illucia, Thia is finally spurred into action. Kalyn lives in the Bay Area and loves books, cats, books with cats, and making up other worlds to live in for a while.
Katy Rose Pool's debut fantasy novel, THERE WILL COME A DARKNESS (Sept. 3, Henry Holt) has been described as SIX OF CROWS meets GRACELING. For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations -- until the day, one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared. All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world's salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. With chaos on the horizon, five souls are set on a collision course. Katy graduated from UC Berkeley and resides in the Bay Area, where she can be found eating breakfast sandwiches, rooting for the Golden State Warriors, and reading books that set her on fire.
Shannon Price's A THOUSAND FIRES (Nov. 5, Tor Teen) is a dystopian novel where gangs rule, and has been described as THE OUTSIDERS meets THE ILLIAD, perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Veronica Roth. Valerie Simons knows the Wars are dangerous -- her little brother was killed by the Boars two years ago. But nothing will sway Valerie from joining the elite Herons with her boyfriend Matthew to avenge her brother. But when Jax, the volatile and charismatic leader of the Stags, promises her revenge, Valerie is torn between old love and new loyalty. Shannon is a self-described proud Filipina-American. When not writing, she can be found watching baking shows, exploring old bookstores, going to the beach as often as she can, and working when she must in Silicon Valley."

Michael's gorgeous new novel LONGER is a science fiction study on mortality, consciousness and intimacy, and Paul's work is described by the publisher thus: "[w]ith exotic settings and characters truly alien and disturbingly normal, his novels and stories explore the shifting interface between traditional narrative and luminous dream, all in the service of a deeper humanism." Join us to meet these two fascinating authors and have the best time you've ever had gaining a deeper understanding of humanity!
