NotesSpencer Hill Press and Spence City take BEA by storm!
Did you notice the pink-and-feather-covered SWAG faeries wandering the Javits Center at 2013’s BEA? They were just one aspect of the magic that Spencer Hill Press and Spence City brought to America’s favorite literary event.
Spencer Hill Press and Spence City unloaded mountains of upcoming book titles at BEA, including “Triangles”, “Dollhouse Asylum”, “PODs”, “Copper Girl”, “Death and Mr. Right”, “Breaking Glass”, “Perfection,” “Whisper Falls”, “Camp Boyfriend” and Aurelio Voltaire’s much anticipated black comedy, “Call of the Jersey Devil”.
In addition to advanced reader copies of titles, SHP/SC impressed fans, librarians, bloggers and teachers with their impressive cast of colorful authors in attendance. Tyler Jolly and Sherry Ficklin shared steampunk awesomeness to promote “Extracted”, a steampunk YA novel. Mary Gray was joined by special guest Jeremy West of Novel Thoughts to promote “Dollhouse Asylum.” Kendra L. Saunders was joined by Project Runway Season 10 winner fashion designer Dmitry Sholokhov while promoting her upcoming Douglas Adams-esque dark comedy “Death and Mr. Right.” And, of course, Voltaire wowed fans as he signed his first novel.
Comment to let us know… Did you meet SHP at BEA? Did you get pictures? Do you have some favorite moments involving SHP at BEA 2013?

Copper Girl
Jennifer Allis Provost, author of COPPER GIRL:
Q: What’s your favorite aspect about your book (scene, character, writing voice, humor, etc)?Without a doubt, my main character Sara. She’s smart, funny, and tenacious. Her world and her family are crumbling around her, and yet she keeps trudging onward, convinced that someday she will be able to put the pieces back together. Ever since the Magic Wars - when magic was the definitive loser - Sara has been forced to hide her mark, the copper raven emblazoned across her back that marks her as a descendant of one of the most powerful magical bloodlines still in existence. Even worse, she works at a boring office job, even though her family is positively drowning in old money, just to blend in with the populace. Eventually, Sara meets a handsome elf lord named Micah, but he doesn’t rescue her. No, Sara rescues herself.Q: What will a Spencer Hill Press fan love about your Spence City book?A: There’s action and adventure, both in the Otherworld and the Mundane world, oppressive governments, a sexy elf man, an evil queen, and a copper girl who refuses to give up. what’s not to love?DEATH AND MR. RIGHTKendra L. Saunders, author of Death and Mr. Right
Q: What’s your favorite aspect about your book (scene, character, writing voice, humor, etc)?A: My favorite thing about Death and Mr. Right is the fun turn-around of so much of mythology. I’ve always thought mythology is fascinating, and in our modern age, we have such a different set of variables to deal with. I wanted to play with the mythology that 21st century people would create. So we have ‘agents’ in the place of gods, and there are agents in charge of everything from fashion to the efficiency of the post office to falling in love or whatever. And I tried to present all of this with that screwball humor of my favorites in the genre- Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman.Q: What will a Spencer Hill Press fan love about your Spence City book?A: Everything about this book is perfectly acceptable and appropriate for a Spencer Hill Press fan. The book can be read by anyone 13 and up, easily. There’s very little offensive material in it- much less than I see in a lot of “YA” material at the bookstore! The characters are not teenagers, however, they’re in their 20s. I think teenagers will love this story because it’s still about transitioning in life… instead of the transition from high school into adulthood, it’s the transition of early adulthood… or, in the protagonist’s case, from “life” to “death” and back again! I think Spencer Hill Press fans will love this book, really. It’s funny, quirky and a touch romantic. -
