Life After 'Harry': Baen Books Announces the Cure for PPD (Post-Potter Depression)

HIGHLANDS, N.J., Aug. 11, 2005 -- So it's "After Harry" time, and you feel the post-Potter blues set in. Don't want to close the book on adventure, enchantment, and courageous young heroes ready to take on the forces of evil? Baen Books has the recipe to keep the spirit of Hogwarts alive - and the Muggles at bay.

Take New York Times best-seller David Weber's "Oath of Swords," where a young bard of lowly birth finds himself championing the Forces of Light. You'll meet another young hero-magician in Rick Cook's "Wiz Biz," where a youthful computer genius is transported to a realm where magic works. In "Chrome Borne," Mercedes Lackey delivers a car-racing hero in a world where elves live among us, and award-winning Wen Spencer's enchanting heroine "Tinker" must fight her way through dark-elf plots in modern Philadelphia to get to her first date!

Eric Flint, another New York Times best-selling author, joins forces with South African Dave Freer for a light-hearted romp through the worlds of Greek and Egyptian mythology in "Pyramid Scheme," while megastar Marion Zimmer Bradley takes a more serious tour of the world's most famous lost island in "The Fall of Atlantis."

Great books written by great storytellers are the secret to creating lifetime readers, and Baen Books, with a special list on its website (http://www.baen.com) of titles suitable for young adults and a series of special bookseller offers this fall highlighting these titles, is helping feed their craving.

Baen Books has over 50 million copies in print and for 25 years has been publishing the best in fantasy and science fiction. Its blockbuster tales of wonder will set every reader on the road to magical adventure once again.
