Reading the Wind available in paperback

readinthewindcoversmall.jpgI’m pleased to announce that Reading the Wind is out in paperback.  In honor of its release, I posted a new story on the Academy of New World Historians website.

The new story happens offstage to the action in the book, and is the first part of the overall story that has been narrated by Bryan. In the story, Bryan talks about what happens to him as he walks down the Street of All Designs.  If you then send me a comment from the Academy Site (or  comment on this post), I’ll enter you into a drawing for free books.  I’ve given away two so far, another one will be given away Friday, and one more every week up until November when Wings of Creation comes out.  On the Wings release day,  I’ll draw a name and send out a full hardcover set of the three books to someone.

Also, if you entered before, and you didn’t get a comment or a reply, then the spam filter ate it.  I have verified at least one case of the Internet eating comments meant to be entries, so if you’re not sure if you’re in, email me again.

    Your are welcome – and you are in the contest! And I’m glad you liked the story. I’m hoping to put new bits up in that world from time to time. It’s a fun place to write.

"Brenda Cooper's newest novel is a feast of character and concept. She depicts the devastation of war on microcosmic and macrocosmic levels, and even more so, the driving motives of young men and women caught in deadly conflict. Cooper is a master explorer of the interaction of society and individuals. She probes the psychology of her genetically enhanced characters with both rare depth and fidelity to scientific plausibility. Moral conundrums drive the plot in this unforgettable narrative. Don't miss this compelling work by a major new talent." - Mary A. Turzillo, An Old-Fashioned Martian Girl.

"Brenda Cooper tells a tale of a powerful brother and sister in a fight for their lives, offering insights along the way into the nature of courage and the hunger for community that burns in every human being. This is a lively book, full of colorful images and a memorable cast of human and animal characters, a worthy successor to The Silver Ship and the Sea." - Louise Marley

Available in July, 2008, from Tor Books.
