It’s been a crazy busy month here at Belfire – our first release finally made it off the desk and onto the shelves, submissions have been keeping us busy and promotions for our first novel release have been in full swing.

And then there was last night. It occurred to me that with the addition of another title to our catalogue, it would probably be best to start using an official cart system, rather than just the simple PayPal buttons we’ve been using. As of 12:01 Saturday morning, Belfire Press will be implementing just such a cart, and a new payment policy – we will begin accepting checks and money orders, with the stipulation that no orders will be processed until payment has cleared the bank. It’s taken a while to get it all set up but it’ll be ready to go just as soon as the Church Street release is set to go.

Which brings me to that subject. All pre-orders and specials involving At The End of Church Street will close at midnight Friday. The novel will be released officially at 12:01 May 1st.

Our very first, official novel release. A totally different species from Courting Morpheus… At The End of Church Street brings us to the true start of our adventure.

Speaking of Church Street, May 1st and releasing… are any of our readers attending Mo*Con in Indianapolis this weekend? If you are, be sure to track down author Gregory L. Hall, help him celebrate the release of Church Street by taking us up on our offer – he’ll have all the details for you.

Also attending Mo*Con this year are other members of the Belfire family: Bob Freeman, Kim Paffenroth and R. Scott McCoy, as well as the Princess of all things terrestrial (and not so terrestrial), Alethea Kontis.

We’re nearing the end of the submissions now, although we will be deliberating for a short while yet. Hang on tight, potential Belfire authors, we’re getting there! As our tagline says, one book at a time…

Until next time…enjoy spring!

Belfire Press is proud to welcome new authors to our growing family, and announce the addition of their titles to our line-up:

R. Scott McCoy brings White Faced Bear, a story that intrigued me from the moment he queried me with a basic synopsis. Our expected date of release is 10.31.10.

Steven L. Shrewsbury and Peter Welmerink have brought us an epic tale of malevolence, violence and classic action in Bedlam Unleashed, with a character previously hinted at elsewhere. Our expected date of release is 03.20.11. Already, our art guru Bob Freeman, has begun work on a masterpiece for the cover!

Zoe E. Whitten accepted my invitation to submit her story, Adopting a Sex Doll, and I’m thrilled to say this heart-warming tale of finding family where you least expect it is expected to release 12.20.10.

Author and title information for each will be posted soon.

Welcome aboard, folks – we’re so very glad to have you with us!
