It all comes round again -- Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary

[pameladean]

David and I have made up Blaisdell Press to reissue some of my backlist and ultimately publish Going North. We are beginning with my 1998 novel Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary, which got caught in the collapse of the mass-market distribution system and sold so badly that when Firebird bought up the rest of my backlist, buying this unfortunate book was not something they wanted to undertake.

It is an odd book but I love it a lot. It has astronomy and sisters and true friends and poetry and many female characters and a cat and books and quotations and success and failure and Shakespeare. I don't suppose that last part surprises anybody.

It will be available in a POD trade paperback from CreateSpace, as a Kindle book from Amazon, and as an e-book from Smashwords.

Things are supposed to all go live on March 1, but it looks like you can do pre-orders now. Here's the link:

David will be doing some blog posts about the process of scanning the text and designing the cover and interior, and I'll link to those when they go up.

I am so excited that any attempt at expressing myself other than a level recitation of the facts makes me incoherent, so I'll stop now.

If LJ will permit, here's an image of the cover:

This is great news. I know at least two people who really ought to receive Juniper, Gentian and Rosemary as a gift and now I can make that happen. I've never been willing to lend out my copy because of not being able to replace it.

(I'm very pleased to hear about Going North, too. So exciting!)

Oh, good. I did want to make it substantially less rare.
