Heroes of an Unknown World cover We’re in the process of sending 100+ galleys of Ayize Jama-Everett’s forthcoming final Liminal novel Heroes of an Unknown World to indie bookshops — it’s also available through the Advance Access program, downloadable on Edelweiss, and there’s a 10-copy giveaway over on LibraryThing. You can get a start on the series  right here.

While all that’s going on I got a fabulous email from superstar Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling and many other good things (books, comics, TV!) which just jumpstarted my tiny slow heart. Here’s the latest word on the book — comes out in February:

“The Liminal Books deserve a place on the bookshelf alongside ambitious fantasy series like Marlon James’s Dark Star Trilogy and N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth Trilogy. Big, ambitious, wildly inventive and full of heart. Heroes of an Unknown World displays the voice and verve that are staples of Ayize Jama-Everett’s work. Dive in, you will love what you discover.”
