Announcing the Republication of William Charles Rotsler's PATRON OF THE ARTS
Digital Parchment Services
Is Proud to Announce the Republication of William
Charles Rotsler's
Nebula, Hugo and Locus Award Finalist Saga
PATRON OF THE ARTS
(with bonus content)
For Immediate Release
Digital
Parchment Services, through its Strange Particle Press science fiction imprint,
and the estate of William Charles Rotsler are proud to announce the exclusive publication
of an enhanced edition of Rotsler's 1974 novel Patron of the Arts ... based on his triple-award nominee fiction novelette
of the same name.
Born in 1926, William
Charles Rotsler was truly a renaissance
man: acclaimed novelist and short story writer, photographer and filmmaker, much-admired
artist and illustrator and – how he is perhaps best remembered – and as a warm
and special part of science fiction fandom. Star Trek fans particularly
owe Rotsler a debt for giving Lt. Uhura the first name of Nyota.
Rotsler had a hand in
locating the fossils, crystals and stones for the Nebula Award trophies as well
as receiving five Hugo awards for his cartoon work that appeared in fanzines,
convention program books, and magazines such as Locus. To honor Rotsler,
The Southern California Institute for Fan Interests created the William Rotsler
Art Award in 1998. William Rotsler
died in southern California in 1997.
"Patron
of the Arts gives us a future where art is a major driver in the culture.
He envisions new technologies that deepen our arts and alter how we see our
world. Rotsler at the top of his form." –Gregory Benford
Brian Thorne was a billionaire. There were only two
things he cared about: women and art. And because he could afford it, he paid
the world's finest artist to combine the two, to make a work of art of the unforgettable,
incomparable Madelon in the new and extraordinary artform: the sensatron. Then
Madelon and the artist disappeared – through the sensatron. And all the money
in the world could not help Brian Thorne. To solve the secret of the sensatron,
he was strictly on his own...
That is how Brian Thorne, billionaire, found
himself helpless—caught in a magnificent crystal creation that grew on Mars,
and without any resources even if he could get away from the killers who
trapped him there. For although they knew he was Brian Thorne, he couldn't
prove it. To find Madelon and the sensatron, he had gone to considerable
trouble to cover his tracks. Now he wished he had not been so thorough in
turning his back on the luxury-lined and very well-guarded life he lived back
on Earth. Now, when it was too late!
"A fine novel!" –Harlan Ellison
This new edition of Patron of the Arts features special bonus content – including
a foreword by Nebula winner Gregory Benford, an afterword by Lambda finalist M.Christian,
and a biographical sketch written by the author himself. The enhanced ebook
version is available now – and a premier trade paperback edition will be coming
in January, 2015.
Coming soon from Digital
Parchment Services will be new releases of William Rotsler's novels To the
Land of the Electric Angel, Zandra, The Hidden Worlds of Zandra,
and Far Frontier, as well as a collection of Rotsler's short stories.
