It is called "Anne Steelyard: The Garden of Emptiness." I wonder if it ever came out. I’ve finally found the preview that they were giving out.

I've interviewed a few PFP folks over the years.

I had the first issue (cute) but I don't know if the second issue ever came out. Ah, that’s right, I thought it was something with a rep for lateness.

Familiar formula, but cutely done. I lost track of the series after a third miniseries was started, a crossover with another company's character, but I forget who.

The first one was published I think in 1998. They've pubished other books, but Gravity is the only one I've picked up. Their series "The Victorian" has also been published for a while, but it was not my cup of tea. They had a nice booth at SPX last year. They gave out free copies of a book called "Zendra" which really surprised me. It looked like a typical T&A SF series, but it was actually pretty well done. They also had a preview of something that was absolutely gorgeous, but I'm blanking on the name. And in fact, this is the second Captain Gravity series. The first one was published I think in 1998.

As <a href="http://www.pfpress.com/about.company.htm">their website points out</a>, they've been around since 1998.
