BREAK UP THE PRINTING PRESS AND YOU BREAK UP THE REBELLION: In fun Christmastime news, I found out that my cousin sold her first novel -- Gutenberg's Apprentice -- to HarperCollins. It's an historical novel set against the creation of moveable type, the financier who bankrolled the effort, and the financier's son who went to work for Gutenberg. They're supposedly going to make a big push with this one, so hopefully you'll be hearing more about it.
It's doubly fun for me because my cousin learned printing from our grandfather, who worked as a printer in San Francisco for fifty years.
Where are the zombies? Or the vampires? Don't you know how historical fiction works these days?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your cousin! And that sounds right up my alley, subject-wise.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your cousin! I believe that this book checks many of my boxes: Historical novel? check. "Nerdy" subject matter? check. Recommended by a Thingthrower? check. I will be waiting the publication.
ReplyDeleteWhat great news! Congratulations to your cousin.
