Welcome, New York Comic Con Fans!

Thanks for stopping by, and for your interest in Goth adventuress Pandora Zwieback.

If you’re here because you spoke with me at the StarWarp Concepts booth, then go ahead and download the Saga of Pandora Zwieback #0 e-comic that I showed you; just click on the cover you see to the left and save it as a PDF. Not only is it an introduction to Pan and her world, hosted by Pan herself, but it contains two sample chapters from her first novel, Blood Feud. Give it a read.

If you like what you’ve read in the comic, head on over to the first annual StarWarp Concepts Book Festival to purchase a print copy of Blood Feud, for the same price you would have paid at NYCC (plus postage). And the e-book edition—available in Epub, PDF, and .prc (Kindle compatible) formats—is just $1.99, marked down from its regular $3.99 price tag. But hurry—the festival starts today, but the discounts end on Monday, October 15!

Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1 is the critically acclaimed story of a 16-year-old Goth girl who’s spent the last decade being treated for mental health problems because she can see monsters. It’s only after she meets a shape-shifting monster hunter named Sebastienne Mazarin that Pan discovers she’s never been ill—her so-called “monstervision” is actually a supernatural gift that allows her to see into Gothopolis, the not-so-mythical shadow world that exists right alongside the human world. But before Annie can explain further, Pan and her parents are drawn into a conflict between warring vampire clans that are searching for the key to an ultimate weapon (or so the legend goes)—a key that just so happens to have been delivered to the horror-themed museum owned by Pan’s father.

And don’t forget to Like the Pandora Zwieback page on Facebook, so you can keep up-to-date with all the Pan-related news; that link’s also in the sidebar.

StarWarp Concepts Book Festival Kicks Off Tomorrow!

For all you worldwide StarWarp Concepts fans and Pan-atics unable to attend this week’s New York Comic Con—and even for those of you who are attending—there’s no reason you can’t have a convention experience of your own by attending the first StarWarp Concepts Book Festival, a special online show being held at the SWC Web site.

The festival runs from tomorrow through Monday, October 15, with discounts on all our titles—both print and digital. All sales are conducted through Paypal—but not to worry if you don’t have an account because Paypal accepts credit cards. That means there’s no excuse for you to not purchase our fantastic products.  😉

But that’s not all! A convention’s not really a convention without attendee badges, and the SWC book fest is no exception. Just print out the card, sign it, cut it out and put it in a lanyard (if you’ve got one handy), and bingo—instant con badge.

So come join us tomorrow for all the excitement, and we’ll see you at the con!

Announcing the StarWarp Concepts Book Festival!

New York Comic Con is just a few days away (October 11, in fact), and here at ’Warp Central we know that not everyone can make it to the show to purchase our fantastic products at special discounts. So after much ruminating on the matter, we came up with a solution: why not hold a convention of our own, right at the SWC Web site?

The first-ever StarWarp Concepts Book Festival will open its Web-doors on Thursday, October 11, 2012 and run through Monday, October 15 (to coincide with the four-day New York Comic Con, plus one extra day). With the exception of the Official Pandora Zwieback T-shirt (which retains its original price) we’ll be offering our print titles at the same discounts you would get if you bought them from us in-person (plus postage), and marking down the prices on all e-books. For example:

Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1

Print: $14.95  $10.00 (plus postage)

E-book: $3.99  $1.99 • available in .pcr (Kindle compatible), Epub, and PDF formats

Lorelei: Sects and the City

Print: $12.95  $10.00 (plus postage)

E-book: $5.99  $3.99 • available in PDF format

Carmilla

Print: $10.95  $5.00 (plus postage)

E-book: $2.99  $1.00 • available in PDF format

Snow White

E-book: $1.99  99¢ • available in PDF format

Sounds good, right? All sales will be processed via the StarWarp Concepts webstore; payments are handled through Paypal. But if you don’t have (or want) a Paypal account, don’t worry—they accept credit cards, just like any online retailer.

The con is also open to those folks who did see us at NYCC but didn’t have the cash on hand to pick up one of our wonderful books or T-shirts (that artists alley can strip a wallet bare!). That’s the reason behind the one-day-past-NYCC extension: to give them the opportunity to pick up online what they couldn’t at the show. We hope everyone will take advantage of it.
