Welcome, welcome, to the long-awaited relaunch of Starwarp Concepts! It’s been years in the making, but 2011 promises to be the start of big things—and we hope you’ll be a part of the festivities!
Things are a little messy here—I know. Sorry about that. We’re still in the process of moving into our new digs—finalizing pages, settling in to the new server, building the webstore, etc.—but if you’ve wandered through the site before coming to this blog, then you’ve already seen that we’ve got some great books in the works. Over the next few days I’ll tell you all about our releases, but for now, let’s start off with:
THE SAGA OF PANDORA ZWIEBACK
It’s the debut of Starwarp Concepts’ first Young Adult, dark urban-fantasy novel series, written by Steven A. Roman (bestselling author of X-Men: The Chaos Engine Trilogy and Final Destination: Dead Man’s Hand), and featuring fantastic cover art by legendary painter Bob Larkin (Haunt of Horror, Tomb of Dracula).
Pandora Zwieback is a 16-year-old Goth who’s just discovered the world is brimming over with monsters, and a lot of them are fixed on either ruling humanity… or eating it! But with the help of an immortal monster hunter named Sebastienne Mazarin, Pan will learn how to stop them…hopefully. That’s the idea, at least…
Pan’s story kicks off with BLOOD FEUD, in which competing vampire clans seek the key to unleashing hell on earth, and only Pan and Annie can stop them. Not exactly the easiest thing to do, though, when those vampire clans include a Special Ops strike team, and a group of Elegant Gothic Lolitas bent on enslaving humanity. For her first adventure, Pan certainly has her work cut out for her…
If Pan’s series sounds like something you’ve just got to read, be sure to head on over to our (little) sister site PandoraZwieback.com and download the free introductory e-comic, The Saga of Pandora Zwieback #0. Now only is the comic hosted by Pan herself, but it includes sample chapters from Blood Feud!
And don’t forget to go to our own Downloads page here at The ’Warp to get the three Pandora Zwieback wallpapers we’ve posted so you can pimp out your computer with some dark-fantasy goodness.
Now who am I, you ask, telling you all this good news? I’m Steve Roman, Blood Feud author and writer-in-residence here at The ’Warp. I also happen to be Starwarp Concepts’ publisher, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that most of the titles we’re releasing are written by me. It’s what you know not who you know, say I. 😉
Of course, the most important people here at The ’Warp will be you, the reader (awwww); to paraphrase comedienne Sandra Bernhard, without you we’re nothing. And all of us here at ’Warp Central appreciate your attention—now, and in the months to come.
That’s it for this first blog entry, but feel free to drop by anytime—I guarantee we’ll have plenty of stuff to talk about, and previews to entice your horror-buying habits.
