Nix News and updates!
« Thread Started on May 24, 2009, 4:13am »

A huge pile of Nix News has accumulated while CC was away. Here is some of it.
The Bells as Charm bracelets.
Garth Nix has exciting plans to release charm bracelets of the seven abhorsens bells available on the dedicated online store in mid june 2009. Which means it's coming up!
According to his blog:
"The Abhorsen’s silver bell charms designed by Oliver Smith are slowly getting into production. The charms are cast in sterling silver (.925 silver) and ultimately will be for sale online through a dedicated website or possibly an Ebay store, and we will ship internationally. Here are a few sneak preview pics of the three varieties: bright (shiny silver); ancient (a tarnished, antique look); and black handle (for the evil necromancers). ... The bells will be packaged individually in a black velvet bag inside a round tin, stickered with the bell's name."

An insider tip from someone in jewelry says that if these are the high quality silver products they look, they will be around $200 AUD+. Something to add to the birthday list, maybe?

He also has new short stories coming out in these anthologies:
"An Unwelcome Guest" in TROLLS-EYE VIEW edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling (out now)
"Punctuality" in THE NEW SPACE OPERA 2 edited by Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan (June 2009)
"The Quiet Knight" in GEEKTASTIC edited by Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci (August 2009)
"Beyond the Sea Gate of the Scholar Pirates of Sarkoe" in FAST SHIPS, BLACK SAILS edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer (out now)
"Old Friends" in DREAMING AGAIN edited by Jack Dann (out now)
"The Heart of the City" coming up sometime probably 2009 in Subterranean magazine online
"Stop!" in THE DRAGON BOOK edited by Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann (out November 2009)

DESPITE the fact he has yet to release LORD SUNDAY, which has been delivered to the publishers and it set for an early 2010 release.
