Logan's birthday and "Bridge" cover reveal!

It's the 17th birthday (again) of our favorite ghost punk rocker, SHADE's Logan Keeley!

To celebrate, there's a #SHADEboys chat tonight at 10pm Eastern time. Just follow that hashtag or go to the SHADEboys room at Tweetchat.com. Be sure to follow Logan, Zachary, and Martin on Twitter (and on Tumblr) for SHADEboys action every day.

Also, Kilt and Keeley has a special post today on their blog, and they've created a board on the Team Kilt Pinterest just for Logan's gifts (he already has more than I got).

But what you're really here for is the big news, right?  RIGHT?

Logan's birthday is the perfect occasion to announce the imminent arrival of "Bridge," his very own short story!

(Click to emBIGulate.)

"Bridge" was originally published in the YA paranormal anthology Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions, edited by Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong.

Kirkus loved this anthology, calling Logan's story "intense and earnest." It got a recommended review from the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. Most exciting of all, recently Enthralled was chosen by The Guardian for their National Short Story Week recommended reading list for children and young adults!

The "Bridge" ebook will be available as soon as I can get it formatted and uploaded to major ebook outlets. It will include all the Logan-y goodness in one place:

• The story "Bridge" (obviously)
• Lyrics to "Forever," the song he wrote and sang for Aura on the tear-jerkingest page of Shade
• Logan's deleted interludes from Shift
• BRAND NEW: Heart-to-heart interview with Logan and his brother Mickey, the other major character in "Bridge." The brooding, tortured Mickey has never before spoken in public, and this interview will be EXCLUSIVELY available in this ebook.
