Clockwork Phoenix Rises (Officially!)

It is official release day for Clockwork Phoenix, and here is the official press release that goes with it!

In a bout of impressive timing, The Fix has just posted their review of the anthology, which is pretty strongly positive. Since this is MYYYYY! Livejournal, here is the Me Bit:

In Leah Bobet’s “Bell, Book, and Candle,” the three titular objects, traditionally used in the banishments of demons, are personified in three people (maybe angels) who unwillingly serve draconian priests. Summoned against their will, Bell, Book, and Candle are bound to execute terrible sentences against people. They struggle both to keep track of each other—as their forms are mutable throughout the ages—and to find a way free from their odious duties. Thanks to Bobet’s accomplished pen, Bell, Book, and Candle work not only as strikingly original personifications, but also as sympathetic and frail human beings searching for peace. With flashes of sensual brilliance, “Bell, Book, and Candle” equals “The City of Blind Delight” in innovation and...well, in delight.

I will reply to this review with: "Yay! They said I was cool like yuki_onna!" My day just got made. :)

So yes. I say it again, because I said it on the weekend before and god knows nobody reads LJ on the weekend. Go buy book. Read of book. Make smile.
