PRESS RELEASE: Norilana Books Acquires Senrid by Sherwood Smith
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Norilana Books has acquired Senrid, an original YA fantasy by Sherwood Smith, a novel of high adventure and strange magic in the tradition of Lloyd Alexander's Westmark and Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief. The novel will appear under the new YA Angst imprint.

Senrid is the much anticipated story of swashbuckling boys and girls, royal stakes, mysterious villains and breathtaking wonder set in the much-beloved fantasy world of Crown Duel and Inda.

Sherwood Smith ([info]sartorias) has been writing about this milieu since age eight. Her first foray there, Crown Duel, is in its ninth printing. Other work includes the popular Wren series and Exordium series (with Dave Trowbridge), altogether more than twenty-five books published and translated into numerous languages. Visit her website at: http://www.sff.net/people/Sherwood/

With over 50 books in print, Norilana Books specializes in beautifully packaged hardcover and trade paperback classics of world literature, quality fantasy, science fiction, romance and women's fiction, and young adult titles.

It looks from your website that Barnes and Noble may be one of the Booksellers offering this title, when will an ISBN number be released on it?

Thanks for asking. :-)

The ISBN will be announced as soon as the book is actually in the system and available for pre-order, which should be in April.

Stay tuned!
