4-17-07 Wizards of the coast
Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a premier publisher of fantasy fiction and a
subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:HAS), announced today that beginning in 2008
the company will bring its legendary ability to discover new talent to bear on a
line of novels independent of any of its established shared world lines.
The new imprint - WIZARDS OF THE COAST DISCOVERIES(TM) - is a fantasy-tinged
speculative fiction imprint that discovers new worlds, new talent, and new
voices for adult fiction readers. The books will be loosely tied to a fantasy
theme and will have a wide range of genres - from the mainstream to urban horror
to literary fantasy. This imprint is all about discovering new worlds and new
voices outside our traditional Wizards of the Coast imprint shared world
boundaries. To that end, the authors of the first five books range from
experienced novelists to exciting young authors making their literary debuts.
"We have a more than 20-year history of discovering and nurturing talented new
authors and we're thrilled with the opportunity to continue that with the
Wizards of the Coast Discoveries line," said Liz Schuh, Director of Book
Publishing with Wizards of the Coast. "Long-time fans of our books and newcomers
alike will find something new to love among our varied and dynamic line-up."
This brilliant portfolio of original works comes from a range of genres, from
the southern gothic ghost story "Firefly Rain"; a unique take on superhero
mythology in "Devil's Cape"; the fanciful, spooky, and enlightening memoir "The
Man on the Ceiling"; the challenging literary fantasy of "Last Dragon"; to the
contemporary urban horror of "The Angel of Death in Chicago."
Distributed by Random House, Wizards' books are available in most major
bookstores, online booksellers, and in local libraries.
