Just as Jules Verne’s Nautilus traveled all over the world, we’re throwing a world-wide party. It’s on Thursday August 6th, from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM EDT and it’s on Facebook.
We’re doing this to celebrate the launch of the new anthology 20,000 Leagues Remembered. Published on the 150th anniversary of Jules Verne’s masterwork, this book contains new stories by 16 modern authors, all paying tribute to Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, that classic proto-steampunk novel of undersea adventure.
At the party, you can meet the editors and the authors of the stories and ask all the questions you want. Best of all, you can win prizes!
You’re invited! Everyone is. Now, of course, you’re wondering how to attend. Just follow these steps:
- Create a Facebook account if you don’t already have one.
- Send a friend request to me.
- If you don’t receive a party invitation within a day or two, send me a message to prompt me.
- Once you get the invitation, accept it.
- Share info about the party with your friends.
- Log into Facebook at the right date and time and join the fun.
(If anyone knows a simpler way to invite the whole world to a Facebook event, let me know in the comments to this blogpost.)
You’ve waited 150 years for this sesquicentennial celebration. It would be a shame to miss it. After all, the bicentennial won’t be until June 2070, and that’s a long time from now.
See you at the party! You’ve been cordially invited by—

Please become my friend.
Sorry I wasn’t clear. You have to be a Facebook user and send a friend request to me within Facebook. Then I can send you an invitation to the party.
