The Glitter Rose Collection will feature 5 short stories by Marianne de Pierres – four previously published and one new story. Each copy of this limited edition print run will be signed and presented in a beautiful hardbound cover, with internal black and white illustrations. The Glitter Rose stories are set against the background of Carmine Island (an island reminiscent of Stradbroke Island, Queensland) where a decade ago spores from deep in the ocean blew in, by a freak of nature, and settled on the island. These spores bring fierce allergies to the inhabitants of the island. And maybe other, more sinister effects. As we follow Tinashi’s journey of moving to and settling into island life, we get a clearer picture of just what is happening on Carmine Island. Glitter Rose is named after the glitter rose dusks that happen at certain tides on the island – when the last of sunset has fallen, a strange phosphorescence can be seen on the sands of the beaches. Colourless at first, it rapidly changes to a “carpet of tiny, shining, rose-coloured grains” as the sky darkens. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction by Trent Jamieson Glimmer-by-dark Moon Flowers at the Ritz The Flag Game final title forthcoming Plus bonus In the Bookshadow Glitter Rose will be released in September 2010 at Aussiecon 4 in Melbourne.

I'm so excited! Though the site doesn't give any international postage options, so I'm a little concerned...

Hi Stellar,
TPP is based in Perth, so it might pay you to order. Postage won't be much. I imagine there will be copies in Forbidden Planet but I don't know how many. It won't be in the big stores, only independents. You could drop Alisa a line and ask her.
Chir,
If there's any problems I'll chase it up for you.

Hubby ordered mine, said 'Happy Mother's day', then looked at when the book was coming out. Wonder if I can get my breakfast in bed the day it's delivered?
