AaN is now on the shelves at Stay Gold Books in Regent Square (https://www.staygoldbooks.com) Quirky and independent, just how we like our bookstores. Go browse or attend one of their many events.

If AaN were to ever do a final collection of The Librarian stories (tentative title - The Librarian Overdue) would definitely be using this image for the cover by our favorite stock image illustrator - Grandfailure

Pleased to say we had another surge yesterday and we are at 86% base goal funded for the anthology (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/52625019/tea-or-coffee-stars-and-gravity). This means we are 73% to SG1 & 65% to SG2. Spread the word and help us lock in the funding. Thanks to all backers and supporters.

Did you know that I have a very large collection of tiny pottery pieces, including a large number of tea cups, tea mugs, tea bowls. If you'd like to have a look at the collection you can fnd it at Pottery, Small and Curated: https://smallcuratedpottery.blogspot.com/?view=flipcard

I am asked on occasion where I get the idea for anthologies and titles. In the case of this book it was because of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeZnmK1o0o8&list=RDAeZnmK1o0o8&index=1

While we will not be an attendee at StokerCon 2026 in Pittsburgh this June (not really a horror story publisher), we'll be in the lobby that Saturday to see who we can meet and greet and chat with.

02/01/2026

Three days to launch - Feb. 3rd. Hoping you will join us as a backer. I know times are tough. You will be supporting worthy, talented authors and a small indie press fighting the good fight with kindness, respect, and decency towards all in our community.

Looking to raise money for the inclusion of 12+ authors, with modest stretch goals to add up to an additional 12+ authors. There are several add-on books with free shipping, including two 2026 invite-only anthologies.

Spread the word. Happy to answer any questions.

Once authors are chosen after the open call submission period, I'll be asking each for a favorite tea or coffee recommendation and post them as a fun thank you for backers. Or, if you like neither tea nor coffee, I could ask for their favorite galactic stellar body recommendation or their favorite gravitational constant. ⭐🫖☕
