Pieces of Sky


Things are popping for CB member Kaki Warner! Her debut novel, Pieces of Sky (to be released January 5, 2010), has been picked up by Doubleday Book of the Month Club, Rhapsody, and several others (they're all managed by the same company, apparently). Also, Pieces of Sky has earned a TOP PICK 4 ½ star rating from Romantic Times (Amazon full review is posted here), in addition to receiving a great write-up by Publishers Weekly (full review posted on Barnes & Noble's website). Michelle Buonfiglio, in her Barnes & Noble Unabashedly Bookish Blog also mentions the book in "How the Southwest Was Won". Follow Kaki in her publishing journey on her blog or sign up for her newsletter.

Congrats to Kevin Wolf on his F/SF entry, Broke Heart, winning The Sandy, Pacific Northwest's Literary contest and The Colorado Gold. Best of luck with your agent and editor requests!
