The paperback and Kindle versions are in the process of being completed. Here’s the proto-art for the cover. Pretty cool!

2015 was the first full year of Word Posse. We went to several conventions, published five novels, and learned a lot. Here’s to an even better 2016 for us and for all of you, too. May you be productive and successful!

At our annual holiday get-together, we had another photo shoot, and this time, Laurell was able to join us.

Here’s where you can see Marella and Debbie at Archon (besides their Word Posse table). Oh, and look—Marella gets to moderate four panels!

Several members of Word Posse will be attending Archon in Collinsville, IL, this October 2-4.

You should be able to:

• find Deborah Millitello and Marella Sands on panels discussing anything from Doctor Who to writers groups.
• see art by Marella Sands in the art show
• visit the Word Posse table to meet Deborah Millitello, Marella Sands, Tom Drennan (Sunday only!), and, at some point, Rachel Sullivan (Fortune’s Daughter cover model).

Plus you can also do all the other fun things Archon has to offer—gaming, children’s activities, the dealers’ room, the Masquerade, the art auction, the charity auction, and more! See you in Collinsville in two weeks.

Word Posse is having a banner summer release season! In the past few weeks, we’ve issued Tom Drennan’s Thor McGraw and the Ice Man Murder; Deborah Millitello’s Do Virgins Taste Better? and Other Strange Tales; and Marella Sands’ Restless Bones. Read about these works on the author pages (just click on their slider at the top of this page)!
