Be amazed! It's October 29th, I'm halfway through the semester, and there is (kind of) a new Dear Reader.
Locus Magazine kindly put me on their New and Notable list for October as "the celebrated lyrical fantasist." So nice. We'll be celebrating shortly.
At the Edge of Waking is out and about in the world. Good news! Chapters Indigo has ordered a whack of copies, so I'm now readily available in Canada. And of course you can still order directly from Prime, Amazon, or your friendly local independent bookseller.
And here is what At the Edge of Waking, published by Prime Books, looks like. Stephen Segal designed the cover. Isn't it gorgeous?
Peter S. Beagle says "Holly Phillips is spooky good," and Publisher's Weekly says "Phillips's crisp, dense writing draws readers into intimate, seductive worlds of shadow and emotion." The book is also "moody" and "haunting." Sweet.
For more of me, check out this interview at the Nipissing University lit review site.
I'm keeping my favorite blurb up because it's my favorite: "I read this one during a flight through a bad storm, and at one point the plane shook so violently that everyone screamed and some passengers started praying. My thought was: Now I'll never find out how this book ends." -- Fantasy Book Critic

For the uninitiated: you can find out more about the book here. |
The first chapter of The Engine's Child is still available for your perusal here. Or you can log on to Amazon and get the actual book mailed right to your door.
"If you enjoy your fantasy with richly unusual settings, powerful female characters, and/or the hybridization of magic and technology, The Engine's Child definitely deserves your attention."
"This is not your traditional fantasy, but an excursion to an island of diverting strangeness and curious possibilities. I like this a lot and hope you give it a try too."
"The Engine's Child is an absolute page-turner featuring a wonderful writing style, imaginative setting and strong characters. Just don't expect a by the numbers epic fantasy. Highly, highly recommended, The Engine's Child has made me a new fan of Holly Phillips..."
"Phillips style is never less than spellbinding. [She] is a writer of vision and grace."
"'The Engine's Child' suggests that we've stepped past the boundaries of genre and into literature that knows no boundaries."
"Richly complex."
"Richly imaginative."
"A rush of images and emotions ... a well-realized fantasy world...delightful prose."
