Cover Reveal! and Neil Gaiman Retweeted Our Kickstarter!

Brief "Omg how is this my life" moment: One of the Love & Bubbles authors asked Neil Gaiman to tweet about our Kickstarter, and he did. https://twitter.com/InspectorSpectr/status/966016738964815872
 
Neil Gaiman. NEIL GAIMAN. WHAT.

(To my family who probably has no idea who I'm screaming about: Neil Gaiman is a LEGEND in the sci-fi/fantasy community. He wrote so many things you've never heard of but we nerds worship. This is a Big Deal.)

Now to the actual news:
 Today, I’m revealing the cover and story line-up for BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK, coming July 2018!

And I have a story in it!

This YA sci-fi anthology (edited by sci-fi authors Paige Daniels and Mary Fan) features stories about girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)… Girls who hack not just computers, but whatever puzzles come their way, using their smarts to save the day. It’s got sci-fi mysteries, cyberpunk, space adventures, and more! Proceeds from sales of the anthology will be donated to the Society of Women Engineers scholarship fund.


And without further ado, here’s the cover!

ABOUT THE EDITORS


Paige Daniels is the pen name of Tina Closser. By day she works as an Electrical Engineer and Mom mushing her kids from gymnastics and violin practice. After the kids go to bed, she rocks out with her headphones turned to eleven and cranks out books. She is an uber science geek. If she wasn't married to the most terrific guy in the world, she would be a groupie for Adam Baldwin. Her books include Non-Compliance: The Sector, Non-Compliance: The Transition, and Non-Compliance: Equilibrium.


Mary Fan is a hopeless dreamer, whose mind insists on spinning tales of “what if.” As a music major in college, she told those stories through compositions. Now, she tells them through books—a habit she began as soon as she could pick up a pencil. And what stories she has! Currently, she has three series in progress and likes to think that she has even more in her bag. Her books include Starswept, the Jane Colt trilogy, the Firedragon novellas, and the Fated Stars novellas.
