Cover reveal for Troubadours and Space Princesses

We are excited to reveal the cover for Troubadours and Space Princesses, with beautiful art by Utah artist Bradley Williams. This is the sixth in the LTUE Benefit Anthologies series edited by Jaleta Clegg and Joe Monson! This volume celebrates the amazing life and legacy of David Farland (Dave Wolverton). So many people in the Intermountain West and around the world were positively impacted by Dave. Princesses and troubadours have long been a staple of adventure fiction. The tradition continues here, with princesses going on epic journeys, a tune worthy of a royal rodent, the power of a forgotten song,…

Cover reveal for The Horror at Pooh Corner

This was posted last week to all of the backers, and now we can reveal the Kickstarter edition cover for The Horror at Pooh Corner to everyone else! I think Jessica Douglas did a fantastic job with it. There will (of course) be a few tweaks to it here and there, but this is pretty close to the final version.

Call for Submissions: Dog Save the King!

Since its beginnings in the early 1980s, the Life, the Universe, & Everything Symposium has been a staple of the Utah and Intermountain West author and artist community. Many authors, artists, and editors have found inspiration for their careers at the feet of scores of symposium guests. Influential professors and others have mentored those planning and running the symposium, but many of these mentors have passed on. The symposium helps students of all ages by providing greatly discounted student memberships. Hemelein Publications—in conjunction with LTUE Press—created a series of memorial benefit/charity anthologies to help the symposium continue to help these…

We funded! And added some new tiers!

Thank you to everyone who has backed The Horror at Pooh Corner! We reached our funding goal (though we did have a couple people cancel pledges, so it bumped back down slightly). Please keep sharing the Kickstarter so we can reach those stretch goals (an exclusive Kickstarter-only cover, a map incorporating content from the stories in this volume, interior spot illustrations, and an audiobook). We’ve also added three new hardcover tiers for backers in celebration of reaching the funding goal: Hardcore Heffalump Hunter – You’ll receive a case laminate hardcover, the bookmark, and your name in the acknowledgements.

The Horror at Pooh Corner anthology Kickstarter launching soon!

The Hundred Acre Wood has been part of the consciousness of the world for a very long time. For most of the history of the world, it existed on the fringes of awareness, just there, in the corner of your eye. In the early days of the Twentieth Century, a well-meaning fellow by the name of Alan Milne recorded some of the adventures of the denizens of that fell place, though he did brighten the real stories a bit in order to appeal to the children of the day. Now, the real stories can be told. The Horror at Pooh…
