June is Bring a Book to the Infidels Month

Riffing off a thought in comments earlier, I hereby pronounce this Bring a Book to the Infidels Month.

Take a genre book you love (could be mine, that would be very nice, but it's not at all required). Pass it along to someone you know who is not a regular reader of SF/F (or has evinced hesitation to try "that stuff.") Cajole them into trying just a bite, because it's great summer reading/won't hurt/will make you happy/whatever works.

Who knows? They may discover they like it after all, and then you can start borrowing books off of them!


(report back on your attempts, if so inclined....)

another review for FREE FALL

"Laura Anne Gilman has a fun series...(cuts for plot details). Free Fall (trade from Luna which I bought electronically) is lots of fun and this fifth tale provides a
solid conclusion to an excellent series."
-- Henry Leon Lazarus, University City Review

Nice, except for the fact that it's not actually the conclusion of the series, just that story-arc...oh well. Sixth book stands alone, so 'conclusion' works within a limited context.

And yay! for e-books!

update live from the midtown branch library....

Attention NYCers... there are now signed copies of the entire series available at the B&N at 5th Ave and 46th. Should you or anyone you know be interested in such things.

Have been hammering out revisions to HARD MAGIC, and updating the blueprints to the PUPI offices, because accuracy in things like that matters to me, damnit. I now have blue ink all over my fingers, pages upon pages of marked-up text, and a sense of mild satisfaction that I'm fixing the things in the too-rough draft that were literally keeping me up at night. This is the gut-fiddly part that's fun, as opposed to the "I can't read this one more time without crying" stage of revisions. Another day or two of this and I might even be happy with what I have wrought.

And OMG I need to eat lunch. Yes. The office workers should be back in their cubes by now, it's safe to go back into the streets....
