Happy Book Birthdays!

Before I get to my Happy Book Birthdays, I wanted to boost a signal on a great list by BookRiot of 100 Must-Read Sci-Fi Fantasy Novels by Female Authors! It’s not all-inclusive, but it’s a great place to start and lists, among others: FLESH AND SPIRIT by Carol Berg THE KILLING MOON by N.K. JemisinContinue reading “Happy Book Birthdays!”

Installment 1 of How I Met My Client

Inspired by The Knight Agency’s April newsletter and the Agents of the Roundtable prompt, I decided to start a regular thing on my blog: “How I Met My Client”. Something like “How I Met Your Mother” only a lot briefer and, sadly, without the benefit of Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris). To that end, IContinue reading “Installment 1 of How I Met My Client”

News!

I’ve already done my *kermit flail* on Twitter and Facebook, but I don’t want to leave WordPress out, so a huge congratulations here as well to N.K. Jemisin, whose amazing novel THE FIFTH SEASON is now a Hugo Award nominee as well. If you haven’t read this book yet…well, I really can’t recommend it highlyContinue reading “News!”

Scribe Award Nominees

As crazy-busy as this week has been, I can’t close it out without a huge shout out to my Scribe Award nominees! David Mack 24: Rogue nominated for BEST ORIGINAL NOVEL – GENERAL Star Trek Seekers 3: Long Shot nominated for BEST ORIGINAL NOVEL – SPECULATIVE Christie Golden Star Wars: Dark Disciple nominated for ADAPTEDContinue reading “Scribe Award Nominees”

That new book smell!

I love book birthdays, don’t you? I only wish they came with cake. But I suppose with the sedentary reading lifestyle, it’s probably a good thing they don’t. Still and all, these new releases are absolutely worth curling up with a good cup of tea (or, in my case, coffee), even if you leave offContinue reading “That new book smell!”

So much

I’ve been neck deep in contracts/legalese and foreign tax forms this week and so am a bit slow with my happy book birthdays and congratulations, though if you follow me on Twitter (@luciennediver) you’ll already be up-to-date. But to catch you all up here… I’m thrilled to congratulate Ramez Naam for winning the Philip K.Continue reading “So much”

Interview

Hey, there’s an interview with agent and author me today at SF Signal, along with one of my most embarrassing covers (great anthology, though). See if you can spot it!

Book Bliss!

March is another exciting book release month! Today alone there are four amazing titles (more, I’m sure, but four that I had a hand in) that you absolutely can’t/shouldn’t miss. Check out this line-up: MIDNIGHT MARKED by Chloe Neill “It defies reason, really. Book series are supposed to slow down, get stale as they goContinue reading “Book Bliss!”

So much excitement!

This year has been filled already with so many great things for my authors that I have to take a moment out to congratulate them all! A few fabulous highlights: Both N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth and Rachel Caine’s Great Library series appeared on Bustle’s list of 18 Fantasy Series to read after ‘Glass Sword’ (theContinue reading “So much excitement!”

February Book Birthdays!

This year started out with such a bang (in all the best ways except my back going out) that I wasn’t sure I was going to find time to blog in 2016. I was literally dancing as fast as I could to keep on top of things (a la Buffy in Once More With Feeling). Continue reading “February Book Birthdays!”
