Over in the Wizard’s Tower bookstore we have two new releases from ChiZine Publications.

The first is Pattern Scars by Caitlin Sweet. I don’t know much about this one, but it appears to be a new take on the issues of being able to foretell the future.

The other books is Briarpatch by Tim Pratt. This isn’t a Marla Mason book, though what it is isn’t at all clear. The Briarpatch of the title is described as, “either the crawlspace of the universe, or a series of ambitious building projects abandoned by god, or a tangle of alternative universes, depending on who you ask.” Anyway, Tim is a friend, a fine writer, and one of the few people who can claim to have won a Hugo when Neil Gaiman was a nominee in the same category. I’m sure it will be a fascinating book.
