Action-packed week around here! We’ll be at two different events this week with books, QoSP mugs and mousepads, a special guest and, of course, chocolate.

• WomenVenture Women Mean Business Marketplace and Luncheon, Minneapolis, MN – October 13th. Queen of Swords Press will have a book table at this day long event celebrating women small business owners in Minnesota.
• 2017 Twin Cities Book Festival, St. Paul, MN – October 14th. Queen of Swords Press will have a book table and author Michael Merriam will be helping out and signing his new weird Western novella, Not Enough Midnights. We’ll have our books, Michael’s books, some books from small press pals, QoSP swag, and have we mentioned chocolate? Stop by and say hi. The Book Fest is a great event!

 

Catherine Lundoff’s Silver Moon is one of the books featured on Book Riot’s “100 Must-Read Bisexual Books” for Bisexual Awarenesss Week. We are pleased!

Catherine Lundoff’s Silver Moon has earned a Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention! Winners will be announced in December (fingers crossed!).

Had a great time at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki! Rosebud Books was able to sell all the copies of our titles that we brought with us and Catherine Lundoff had a great time on her panels!

There were a couple of followup items from Catherine’s panels – here are some of the resource lists that she mentioned (or wanted to mention):

Older Women in Speculative Fiction: Catherine’s book and story list of older women as protagonists in science fiction, fantasy and horror. Sidsel Pedersen had turned it into a Goodreads list that you can add to or use to build a reading list of your own. Catherine has a shorter Goodreads list of her reviews of some of the books in the bibliography.

LGBTQ Science Fiction Goes Worldwide – Catherine’s original history of LGBTQ speculative fiction posts here now here. Her updated versions which include more horror and are longer are being posted on a monthly basis on Queer Sci-Fi and her list of speculative fiction with queer female protagonists cane be found here. The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards have a reading list of early works here (see also the award lists) and LGBTQ Reads for more recent works.

 

Our publisher is going to be on several panels and will be doing a signing. We will also have Queen of Swords Press titles available for sale.
