Happy 10th (Paperback) Anniversary OrendaΒ Books Wishing a very, very happy 10th Anniversary to the powerhouse that is Karen Sullivan, and to all of the team at Orenda Books, and a happy bookish anniversary to Paul E. Hardisty. On this date in 2015, the paperback of Paul E. Hardisty's brilliant novel, The Abrupt Physics of Dying, was published, just the very beginning of what has been an absolute delight for lovers of fiction the world over.

Happy 10th (paperback) Anniversary Orenda Books & Paul E. Hardisty.

10 years of brilliant books and entertainment. So proud to be part of the Team Orenda cheer squad.
