Intro by Bob
Well, goodbye September. It was a great, if brief, visit. Lots happening across the Brick Cave universe this last month. Always trying to find that elusive "work on" versus "work in" balance for Brick Cave.
This recap message, hopefully can keep you up to date on what is happening as well as give you a peek at what is to come. The last three months of the year will be a crazy rolloer coaster of events, new releases, new projects and more. We'll share a little bit below and looking forward to getting back out on the road starting in October to see readers and share some of these new titles.
New Book Releases
Black Night is Falling, the latest poetry collection from Scott Woods, was announced with a release date of November 14, 2024.
Books with Bookiversaries
September had one bookiversary, and it was an important one. The Last Incarnation by J.A. Giunta celebrated its release on September 1. While it was technically not the first book Brick Cave published, it did signify as the first full length fantasy manuscript put out by the press. The first of MANY to follow, including Joe's NEXT manuscript, see below.

Futurewords II: A Brick Cave Anthology The fist new book released in 2024, and a lot of media being shared about this one, so not suprised we are seeing some traction here. Plus, the stories are great. |

The Nelig Stones by Sharon Skinner A long standing reader favorite right there. As the start of the two book set, it is a great story for readers of any age. |

Mirabella and the Faded Phantom by Sharon Skinner Fun, fun read. This book celkebrates its 10 year bookiversary this year, and it continues to find new readers everywhere. |

Lostuns Found by Sharon Skinner Very interesting that Sharon's middle grades are dominating the view list this month. Oliver Twist meets Peter Pan in this great steampunk homage. |

Futurewords: A Brick Cave Anthology The first Futurewords always seems to garner attention. In a "Did You Know", there are TWO variations of the cover- I won't say what differenciates them, but if you find it, pop something into the BC Book Club Forums. |
