SUMMARY:Velro: Emily Pinkerton + Lynn Brown
DESCRIPTION:Why did the Storm Trooper buy an iPhone? \nBecause he couldn’t find the Droid he was looking for! \nTo hear some even better stuff (WHAT?!) come on by to next Monday’s VelRo. We are proud to feature the amazing writing of Lynn Brown and Emily Pinkerton. And as always\, 5-minute open mic slots\, complimentary refreshments\, and cheesy snacks. \n… \nRaised in the shadow of Houston refineries\, Emily Pinkerton currently lives and writes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her writing has previously appeared or is forthcoming in Pith\, Anthropoid\, Noble/Gas Qtrly\, Delirious Hem\, and LEVELER\, among others. She lived on a sailboat once\, and should probably do it again. Her favorite color is fog. \nLynn Brown was technically born and raised in New York\, but her heart (and most of her writing) will always belong to New Orleans. She is the co-curator of the Voices from the Margins reading series and editor of the forthcoming Footsteps of Baldwin Anthology\, a collection of works by African American expats living in Paris. Her nonfiction work has been published in Conde Nast Traveler\, the Colorado Daily News and the Matador Network\, while her fiction is still mostly lurking around the halls of San Francisco State. She is not at all convinced that the ghosts\, fairies and vampires she writes about in her speculative fiction work are not real.

SUMMARY:Seanan McGuire: Every Heart a Doorway
DESCRIPTION:Book release party: Get your copy of Every Heart a Doorway at Booksmith day before pub date! \nIn Seanan McGuire’s Every Heart a Doorway\, children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe\, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells\, and emerging somewhere… else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. The residents at Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children understand this all too well\,  and each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.\n \n\n\nSeanan McGuire is the author of the October Daye urban fantasy series\, the InCryptid series\, and several other works\, both standalone and in trilogies. She also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. She was the winner of the 2010 John W Campbell Award for Best New Writer\, and in 2013 she became the first person ever to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot.
