Publishers Weekly have reviewed Kim Wilkins forthcoming novella collection, The Year of Ancient Ghosts, rather positively. We enjoyed reading

Aurealis-winner Wilkins (Giants of the Frost) compiles five novellas (three reprinted, two original) in this strong collection. Wilkins adds fantastic elements to her depiction of ages past and present, but rather than relying on standard fantasy tropes, her stories are informed by detailed research into the periods in question.

We're pleased to be able to reveal the cover for Kim Wilkins' 2013 collection The Year of Ancient Ghosts.

The cover depicts Orkney's majestic Ring of Brodgar, ancient standing stones that have held visitors in awe since the Bronze Age.

Just as the stones have waited patiently through the ages, those wanting to get a copy of this fantastic Kim Wilkin's collection will have to wait until May 2013 to get their hands on a copy.
