So SO Close!!

The editors are SO excited.. We have just received the proof copies of New Sun Rising.  I can't begin to tell you how wonderful a feeling it is to actually hold the fruits of all of our labour.

It's a beautiful book - all 263 pages of it.

There are a few tiny layout issues which are being fixed and a couple of layout challenges we need to confirm with contributors..... but after that - it's full steam ahead.

Yes - we can all shriek a small "sqweeeeeeee"  here.

We anticipate the launch date for the paperback around the 16th of November (fingers crossed)  but please watch for our announcements on Raging Aardvark Publishing's facebook page  and twitter  - and of course here on the blog.

When we have the date for launch, we will create a 'virtual launch party' on facebook and invite you all to pop champagne or drink fruit juice - to the health and success of the project that refused to lay down. More information will be provided closer to the date, along with links to where it can be purchased and when.

Thanks so much for your patience, understanding and support.

Success Spotlight on Brigita Orel

Brigita Orel is one of New Sun Rising's contributors who has enjoyed a momentum of successes this year.

Her short story 'Her Only Fruit' has just been published by Eunoia Review. She wrote the story as part of her final project for her master's study in writing at Swinburne. 

Another flash fiction piece  by her will be included in the second volume of the Machine of Death anthology. The editors descibed it as 'A quiet story of a loving relationship.' The first volume of stories about people who know how they will die was published in 2010 and became the best selling book on Amazon on the day of its publication. For more information on the second volume, visit the book's website.

'Afterthought' was published in Foliate Oak Literary Journal  and received honorable mention at the Arkansas College Media Association 2012 Conference.
