The Broken Earth series!

I’m not saying you have to run out and grab N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth series right now – for yourself and everyone you know – I’m just saying that THE FIFTH SEASON is back on the USA Today Bestseller list this week two years after initial publication, that it won the 2016 Hugo Award forContinue reading “The Broken Earth series!”

So much excitement!

There’s so much excitement going on this week that I’m bursting with news! Check it: Amy Christine Parker appeared this week on Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend in association with yesterday’s Teen Author Festival at the SouthShore Regional Library in Ruskin. I hope to find time to write up a full report on that soon, but long storyContinue reading “So much excitement!”

Two new best lists!

Two new Best of lists since yesterday that I want to share before things get to crazy-busy here and I run out of time – another one each for THE FIFTH SEASON by N.K. Jemisin and THE INVISIBLE LIBRARY by Genevieve Cogman! THE FIFTH SEASON by N.K. Jemisin Buzzfeed’s 32 Best Fantasy Books Of 2015Continue reading “Two new best lists!”

Asgardians and Honors

I was tempted to start out with some really bad puns, suggesting you get off your feet if they’re Thor from all your holiday shopping and settle in with a good book, but I won’t subject you to all that.  Instead, I’ll just begin with a *Kermit flail* and an announcement that the first bookContinue reading “Asgardians and Honors”

Great News and Happy Book Birthdays!

I hope you all had a super-fantastic Thanksgiving, full of warmth, love, laughter and overstuffed bellies.  Coming back from a long weekend is always a mixed blessing.  You’re refreshed, you’re ready to go (unless you were trampled during any of the Black Friday sales, which I studiously avoided) and… Then you see the mountain ofContinue reading “Great News and Happy Book Birthdays!”

More Best of and Awards Lists!

I don’t know about you, but after all the socializing, sometimes I have to retreat to a nice quiet room with a good book.  Luckily, ’tis the season for Best of lists that offer suggestions to tickle any fancy!Continue reading “More Best of and Awards Lists!”

Excitement!

I’m just back (well, as of 2 a.m. Sunday night…or rather Monday morning) from meetings in New York and the World Fantasy Convention in Saratoga Springs.  I always come back from New York so energized and pumped, because a) I’ve done some great business, and b) I’ve been surrounded by people whose lives are dedicatedContinue reading “Excitement!”
