Tim Weed launches Will Poole’s Island

timweedWill Poole’s Island by Tim Weed

It’s a big week for book launches in my world. Tuesday saw the release of Richard Bausch’s new novel as well as Martha Woodroof’s debut, and today is the official publication day for my friend Tim Weed‘s book, Will Poole’s Island. (Tim is also a contributor to Everywhere Stories: Short Fiction from a Small Planet, the anthology I edited.)

Set in the Connecticut Colony in 1643, the book is the story of young Will Poole, a young man who lives in a walled English village at the edge of the North American wilderness. Although the book, published by Namelos, is technically a young adult novel, don’t let that stop you. I’m really looking forward to reading it.
