Class of 2k7

Letter from the Editor in Chief

Talent. That’s the first word I think of when I’m asked about the Class of 2k7. There’s so much darned talent. If our first twenty books haven’t thoroughly convinced you (yes, we’ve already put twenty new books on bookshelves!), or the numerous accolades we’ve received, or our successful and fun appearances, then this latest crop of releases should do it. While our ezine will introduce you to our third quarter’s group of debut novels, let me introduce the authors to you.

Presenting our Third Quarter Graduates

We have quite a range of books for our readers this quarter, from penguins to prom queens, via pumpkin growers and mermaids. The novels cover multiple genres: fairy tales, humor, drama, historical fantasy, mystery, contemporary action, and verse, and they deal with many diverse subjects such as abuse, recovery, love, friendship, sports, paralysis, and traveling the world. The Class of 2k7 is excited to announce its latest batch of new releases:

Where to Begin with Graphic Novels

When people hear that Class of 2k7 member G. Neri has written a graphic novel, he usually gets one of two reactions: either a truly impressed “Really?” or a highly suspicious “You wrote a graphic novel? For kids?” So to avoid any confusion that he’s writing blood-splattered books for toddlers, Mr. Neri’s stock explanation goes like this: “A graphic novel is simply a novel-length story told in comic book format.” It’s not graphic in a violent or sexual way, but in a graphic arts way. It’s an illustrated novel. And there’s a growing trend to target this evolving medium more specifically toward teens and younger readers.
