What's up with the ? after the author's name in the little blurbs about each story? Is the author of something being published really in question?


Are you referring to this?

"How will it use these memories, while simultaneously protecting its young charge, in THE LARK ASCENDING by ELEANNA CASTROIANNI?"

This is just a rhetorical device, I think it's called a 'hook question'. It's probably unclear due to the distracting colors and capitalization.
