It's the return of the Indie Book Buzz here at TNBBC. Over the next few weeks, we will be inviting members of the indie publishing houses to share which of their upcoming 2012 releases they are most excited about!
This week's picks comes from Eric Smith,
Social Media & Marketing Coordinator at Quirk Books.
Taft 2012 by Jason
Heller
As a massive Christopher Buckley fan, I was thrilled when
Quirk’s editors told me we’d be releasing a political satire... especially one
with such an awesome, hilarious premise.
The debut novel from a hilarious new voice, Taft 2012 by Jason Heller is
a lot of fun.
Taft 2012 tells the Rip Van Winkle-esque tale of William
Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, who suddenly
awakens in our time, one hundred years after he was last President. Thrown into
the national spotlight, the man who never wanted to be president in the first
place finds himself in the running once more, all while dealing with the trials
and (sometimes delicious) tribulations of 21st century America.
There’s actually a really fun interactive component to Taft
2012. You can visit the campaign website at www.taft2012.com,
follow Taft on Twitter (@taft2012)
and even show your support for the campaign on Facebook by liking Taft’s page (facebook.com/taft2012).
Working on this book has been an absolute joy. And get
ready. We’ve got some amazing campaign videos launching December through
January. The title drops January 17th, 2012.
The Thorn & the Blossom by Theodora Goss
Theodora Goss’ The Thorn & the Blossom really needs to
be seen to believed… which is why we have this video for you.
You open the book in either direction, and get to decide
whose story you want to read first, Brendan or Evelyn? Both tell the same story
of their enchanting, haunting romance.
It’s really quite the unique book package. No spine, tucked
away in a slipcase, beautifully illustrated by Scott McKowen… it’s a book that
is hard not to be excited about, especially because I’ve never seen anything
like it.
The Thorn & the Blossom comes out on January 17th,
2012 as well, and I can’t wait to see how people react to it.
