BLF Press Newsletter - February-2018

Greetings!

We are counting down to the release of Krystal A. Smith's debut collection of speculative fiction, Two Moons, on March 20th and we couldn't be more thrilled that it received a starred review from Booklist! Here's an excerpt: 

"In all, Smith writes with raw emotion in powerful, voice-driven prose. Reading Smith is like wandering between dreams; her stunning, fantastical worlds play by their own rules, challenging the imagination and encouraging deep feeling."
