| Gigi Sherrell Norwood |
What you may not know is that she is herself a talented writer, and she's also the widow of science fiction writer Warren C. Norwood.
Yes, we're kind of a cottage industry all in the family (and that's not even counting the emerging editorial expertise of my son and frequent sf convention companion Tyrell Gephardt).
It was perhaps inevitable that we'd do the writing/publishing equivalent of saying, "Hey! Let's put on a show!" (note: Gigi has a BFA in theatre).
The result is Weird Sisters Publishing LLC, a small press publishing enterprise registered (as of February) and operating out of Kansas. As you might guess from our name, Gigi's studies included an emphasis in Shakespeare. And, we must face it, we've never exactly been conventional.
"Weird Sisters" just kind of fit.
We hope to follow that soon with more of my XK9 novels, and six of the novels in Warren's catalogue, the rights to which have reverted to his estate (AKA Gigi). We plan new covers, and a full range of formats.
Gigi also is in possession of two unpublished novels by Warren, and we are in pursuit of other titles whose ownership is less clear.
Gigi has several other novels in her backlist, not written in collaboration with Warren (she collaborated on some of the Time Police series with him, as did Mel Odom).
We're not currently seeking submissions for Weird Sisters Publishing, but that might change in the future. We plan to focus on character-driven science fiction, urban fantasy, and related works.
