Many Thanks to Those Celebrating BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT!

Here at Leap we're saying a big, BIG thank you to everyone who is making our kickoff of our Alice-in-Wonderland inspired anthology, 

                  BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT, 
                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                               a success!

Thanks goes to the following people:

• Laurie J. Edwards for having the original idea of an Alice-In-Wonderland inspired anthology for Leap;
• Everyone spreading the word about our call for submissions;
• All the writers who submitted their short stories to the anthology, whether they were selected, or not; 
• Gaetano Pezzillo for creating a stunning book cover (and an animated book cover);
• The staff that read the submissions first (Heather Elia, Shannon Delany, Judith Graves);
• Heather Elia for creating the document that kept all the subs organized through the entire process (what an awesome intern!);
• Kelly Hashway for editing and copy editing;
• Judith Graves for creating our cool book trailer;
• The rejected authors who proceeded with grace, spreading good will about the book (if you aren't in the publishing world you might not realize how appreciated that level of professionalism is);
• Shannon Delany for doing the interior illustrations;
• Ali Cross for formatting (and reformatting);
• The interns (old and new) and others who spread word about the book through Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Tumblr--and all things social media;
• The printers and staff who spent time with Shannon on the phone when she called them (multiple times) to make sure things were going well;
• The 13 amazing authors (Charlotte Bennardo, C. Lee McKenzie, David Turnbull, Christine Norris, Jackie Horsfall, Medeia Sharif, Laura Lascarso, Tom Luke, Jessica Bayliss, Crstal Schubert, Holly Odell, Jennifer Moore, and Liam Hogan)who met all their deadlines, approached Shannon's and Judith's every request with a positive attitude, and participated in a Twitter party, and a Facebook party. We hope their careers only grow (and that we get the right opportunity so we may work with them all again).
• Marketing Directors Jennifer Murgia and April Hamrick;
• The bloggers helping with our book blitz;
• The other authors of Team Leap who have been jumping in, supporting the anthology, and spreading the word--team players are the best!
• The readers. Of course the readers! Without the readers we wouldn't be publishing books...for readers.

Author Liam Hogan of BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT

Her Uncle's invention leads Alice to his workshop, where he's in big trouble; can she save the day? 

In author Liam Hogan's short story Follow the Steam Rabbit, Alice falls into a dangerous situation, but cleverly turns things around and shows she's much more than just an inventor's niece.

Liam's short stories have also been included in: London Lies, FEAR: Volume Two, In On The Tide, O Little Town of Deathlehem, Of Airships & Automatons: Tales of Steam and Science, The Martian Wave 2014, Steampunk Trails Vol II, Zombified Reloaded: The Search for More Brains, No Love Lost (Slim Volume 1), 52:Loves, and First Contact Cafe.

Liam Hogan was abandoned in a library at the tender age of 3, to emerge blinking into the sunlight many years later with a head full of words and an aversion to loud noises. He lives in London, hosts the monthly literary event Liars' League, and dreams in Dewey Decimals.

Author Jackie Horsfall of BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT

Jacqueline (Jackie) Horsfall's contribution to Leap's BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT anthology, RABBIT FEVER,  is one that will make historians smile and intrigue everyone else. Jackie was quick to remind our team that "2015 marks 350 years since the height of the Great Plague of London (1665) as well as 150 years since the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865)." 

That's the sort of detail we at Leap love!

Jackie lives in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York and is the proud owner of Martin Gardner’s original 1960 edition of The Annotated Alice.

Author C. Lee McKenzie of BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT

One of the things we love about our homage to Lewis Carroll's ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND is that there truly is something for everyone. One of the most intriguing contemporary submissions we received was C. Lee McKenzie's THEY CALL ME ALICE.

Lee's particular Alice hails from a distinct and rich cultural heritage and, with a deft hand, Lee gives a hauntingly sweet view of her struggle to fit into a world that feels foreign to her.

Curious? Here's a bit of Lee's story (and her title page)!

A native Californian who grew up in a lot of different places then landed in the Santa Cruz Mountains where she now lives with her family, Lee writes most of the time, gardens, hikes, and does a lot of yoga. She travels whenever she can.

Lee's books include DOUBLE NEGATIVE, SUDDEN SECRETS, THE PRINCESS OF LAS PULGAS, ALLIGATORS OVERHEAD, and SLIDING ON THE EDGE.

Ready to LEAP down the rabbit hole?
April 14th BEWARE THE LITTLE WHITE RABBIT
will be in the wild!

On Twitter? She's @cleemckenzie.
And, of course, she's on Facebook, too, as C. Lee McKenzie.
