Fey Publishing

Fey Publishing is a small publishing house dedicated to bringing quality books to you.  Established in July 2009, Fey Publishing's first book was Idol Musings, a collection of the very best entries from therealljidol as well as brand new pieces written exclusively for the anthology, closely followed by In Darkness and Light, by Allison Rogers, aka darkprism, a collection of demented and haunting short stories.  We have more novels and anthologies scheduled for release later in 2010, so watch this space for more details!

Our books are available from www.amazon.com, www.amazon.co.uk and our own web site www.fey-publishing.com, where we ship worldwide.

As we come up to New Year, it's a good time to look back and see how far we've come.  This year saw the release of The Blood Crown, the second in the Vampire Relics trilogy by Tracy A Evans.  It takes the story of Cadmus Pariah to a whole new level and it'll leave you thirsty for the final volume to see just what comes next.

We've also been busy transferring our titles to Kindle and most of them are now available on that format.  Most recently, In Darkness and Light was released and included three new stories exclusive to the Kindle version.  They're moving, shocking, gripping, just what you'd expect from a master of the craft like Allison Rogers.

We're also very pleased to announce the release of Idol Meanderings, the follow up volume to Idol Musings, a collection of essays and stories inspired by therealljidol  The perfect gift, just in time for Christmas!

We have some very exciting releases planned for next year, so watch this space for more information and have a merry Christmas and prosperous 2012!

Fey Publishing is pleased to announce that we are now open to submissions for Idol Meanderings: Stories and Essays Inspired By An Online Writing Competition, the follow up to the first collection of the best of LJ Idol. The deadline for submissions is August 21st, 2011.

Who is eligible to submit?
Anyone who has ever been a contestant, no matter how briefly, or who has home gamed and linked their entry to an official Idol thread.

Are there any conditions of entry?
Everyone who is accepted for inclusion in the second volume will have to produce at least one further entry based on a Gary provided prompt, which may or may not be included in the final collection. You will have a month to write this (so more time than a typical Idol entry!) and if you do not produce it, then none of your entries will be in Idol Meanderings.

I was in Idol Musings. Can I still be in the new book?
Yes. Anyone who was in the first book will be eligible to be in the second book.

But I sent all my best material for the first book. Is there any point in submitting?
Idol Meanderings has one major difference to Idol Musings, which was compiled based on entries that had been officially submitted. This time around, should you feel that there are prompts you didn't write on or would like to do-over, you are more than entitled to write on one of those and submit that for consideration (although you will still need to produce the extra piece mentioned earlier).

Where should I send my pieces to?
In the first instance, please email your entries to editor@fey-publishing.com

What formats are acceptable?
Word documents or links to your LJ are fine. If you link to LJ, please ensure that the entry is public if you are unsure that we have access to your f-list.

I heard that anyone can submit and they will be accepted. Is this true?
No. Just like last time, we will not accept every single piece submitted, nor will every single writer who submit be included. We are aiming for a more streamlined text this time, so competition for inclusion will be all the more fierce. Make sure you pick your very best work!

Are you accepting recommendations this time around?
We will not be approaching people directly unless there are exceptional circumstances. We strongly advise that if you wish to be part of the book that you submit yourself and do not wait for someone else to put you forward.

Will I be paid for inclusion?
There is no monetary payment for being in the book. However, not only do you get the chance to put "published author" on your writing CV for future submissions, you will receive one complimentary copy of the book and the right to purchase further copies at a 40% discount, meaning that you can treat your friends and family!

Wait - I have other questions!
Then please email them to editor@fey-publishing.com

Check out this recently released extract from the diary of Cadmus Pariah! Just enough to whet your appetite for the forthcoming release of the next in the Vampire Relics Trilogy by Tracy A Evans...

We are sad to announce that Welcome to River Street is no longer available through Fey Publishing.

With the release of The Blood Crown scheduled for later this year, now's the time to spread the word about The Vampire Relics.  If you haven't read the first of the series, you've missed out!  The Blood Crown continues the adventures of Cadmus Pariah and explores the Vampire mythologies to a much deeper levels.  It'll really help if you've read The Chalice first because you'll have a better understanding of the back story to The Blood Crown.

Tell your friends, tell your family and be sure to get your copy of The Chalice very, very soon!

After a successful relocation, Fey Publishing is accepting orders again and as a special Christmas promotion, we're offering 30% off all books until 24th December, so hurry over to our web site to find that perfect Christmas gift.

Will it be:

So come and check out what our talented authors have to offer - we know that you will love our books!

Home, Fey Publishing's latest release, is a romance story with a difference. 

Hannah hopes to meet a nice, single lesbian--not so easy, even in a city as big as New York.  When she meets Kate in Central Park, Hannah is sure she's found her dream girl.  A sassy painter with a wicked sense of humor, Kate is everything Hannah wants... except that she's not a lesbian, and she's most definitely not single.  Hannah hides her crush on Kate, and they build a friendship, but it's not long before another wrinkle presents itself: his name is Michael, and he just happens to be Kate's husband.

When Hannah finds herself attracted to both Kate and Michael, her world is turned upside down.  She's forced to question everything she knows about herself, in order to get what she's wanted for so long.  How far outside the box can she think, if it means finding the place where she belongs?

Nicole Berman is doing a special offer on her LJ for free shipping, so head on over to fresh_tart  to take advantage of it.  But be quick - we will shortly be having a break from taking orders, so act fast if you want to buy direct from us (but don't worry if pay day's not until next week - our books will still be available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble).

In very exciting news, Fey Publishing announces the release of The Chalice, the first volume in the Vampire Relics trilogy by Tracy Angelina Evans. 

In a world where vampires are all too real, an Otherworldly war wages over possession of the Chalice.  Created by the Hive Queen and containing her blood, it is currently in the possession of the reviled Cadmus Pariah whose plans threaten vampires and humans alike.  Can Queen Kelat and her champions retrieve it before it's too late?

For as long as Vampires have walked the Earth, there has been an obsession to mortate, to leave the Vampire world behind and be human again. 

Legends say there are relics: a crown, a chalice and an augury which, when combined, will cure the curse of blood lust.  Legends also tell of ancient teachers, deadly alliances and twisted advantages. 

Welcome to the world of the Vampire Relics, where humanity moves blindly along the rim of time and an immortal battle rages over history lost and history yet to be made.

Prepare to have your blood chilled...

Fey Publishing is extremely proud to announce the launch of Welcome to River Street by Amy M. Levy.  This collection of a novella and two short stories will have you questioning what is real and what is fantasy as it leads you through the twisted minds and lives of the River Street inhabitants.  There's the lady who lives downstairs, quiet woman with beautiful children.  Meet Cynthia King - this is probably your only chance to get to know her because it's rumoured she's moving soon.  And of course, Michelle Bradley, new to the street and looking to turn her life around.

Welcome to River Street.  May you always have a home.

Amy M. Levy is also featured in Idol Musings, available from Fey Publishing.
