I have two books to plug · 7:01am Apr 24th, 2019
... and neither of them are the one I'm putting together for the Bronycon Bookstore!
The fine folks at Ministry of Image -- who are printing new short-story collections themed around Princess Celestia and Princess Luna -- have a heck of an eye for quality. You can tell because their list of authors reads like a who's-who of both literary pony fandom (GhostOfHeraclitus, Bad Horse, Cynewulf, Miller Minus) and the cream of the popular crop (Skywriter, Ponydora Prancypants, Georg, Chuckfinley).
Which makes it even more of an honor that I'm not only included, but the only author to have more than one story in the collection.
Tales of the Sun will include the highly acclaimed Administrative Angel, a story about how the magical confrontation in Equestria Girls forces Principal Celestia to come to grips with her past. (It'll be printed alongside three RCL features, two Pony Fiction Vault inductees, and a newly edited Dune Goddess, among others. Check out the story list.) And while I haven't seen the book yet and can't promise it'll include all-new artwork based on the tale, MOI says they'll have nine full-color interior illustrations and nine stories.
More excitingly, Tales of the Moon will include both Quiet Boy and Moon Horse AND Thou Goddess! I'm personally most excited to see them alongside Luna, Princess of Space (which I plugged years back), but they're in plenty of other good company.
Ministry of Image is taking preorders now; the books will drop this summer. I'll note that if you're only in it for the Horizon stories, wait until Bronycon, and all three of those will also be in the collection I'm doing -- but otherwise, I doubt you'll have a better chance to sample awesome stories from across the fandom, or to enjoy a collectible with MOI's high production values.
I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it
I NEEED IT
Excellent! Congrats.
This is:
All kinds of fancy!

I'm somewhat surprised to see "Sisters" included instead of "Mortality Report" by the same author.
Seeing "Thou Goddess" and "Quiet Boy and Moon Horse" in the same anthology is also unexpected, but not unwelcome
