P to the R.
Supersticery Press is pleased to announce the impending publication of The Dazzle of Day, volume 2 of City of Roses, the acclaimed webserial by Kip Manley.
The Dazzle of Day will collect chapters 12 – 22, completing the story begun in volume 1, “Wake up…”, published in 2011. The Dazzle of Day will be available as an ebook for all software and devices, as well as a handsomely designed paperback, on Tuesday, December 10th, 2013, from all major online retailers, as well as stores within and around Portland, and directly from the publisher.
The Web Fiction Guide says it’s “utterly captivating” and “brilliant.” The Guardian says “City of Roses is an absorbing read that many fantasy fans will enjoy immensely,” and the Oregonian has called it “just another Portland story.”
Review copies of The Dazzle of Day will be made available toward the end of October, as production work on the volume is completed. The publication date will also see a release of a new edition of volume 1, “Wake up…”, and a change in the pricing of ebooks and paperbacks (yet to be finalized). An omnibus ebook containing all 22 chapters will also be published. After a brief hiatus, the serial will resume; the next two volumes, also consisting of 11 chapters each, will be titled In the Reign of Good Queen Dick, and —or Betty Martin.
Please address any questions to the author and publisher, Kip Manley, at kipmanley@yahoo.com. (Kip Manley was, some time ago, a senior editor and staff writer for Portland’s late, lamented Anodyne magazine. He currently lives in Portland with the celebrated cartoonist Jenn Manley Lee and the generally astounding Taran Jack. Mostly he just wanders about the city looking for cool places to stage sword fights.)

Blasted email notification not notifyin’ me of comments. —Anyway! There’s already a paperback of vol. 1 ; it will undergo some redesign (complaints about font size, kerning addressed, etc.) in time for the release with vol. 2. It is hoped. Etc.
