Coming Attractions

Hey guys,

Here's what I have on tap for you in the near future. . .

Reviews:

Fulfilling my obligation for losing that NFL bet to GRRM, I'm currently reading Bill Willingham's Peter & Max (Canada, USA, Europe). Interesting thus far, though I think that readers familiar with the comic books will get more out of this one than people new to that universe.

In addition, I'm reading Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: The Doll's House (Canada, USA, Europe).

When I'm done with both of these, I'll be tackling S. L. Farrell's A Magic of Nightfall (Canada, USA, Europe), and Jeff Somers' The Eternal Prison (Canada, USA, Europe).

Nostalgia should also make me read Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragons of the Hourglass Mage (Canada, USA, Europe).

Other than that, a couple of SFF titles are vying for attention on top of my "books to read pile," chief among them Ian McDonald's Desolation Road (Canada, USA, Europe), Lev Grossman's The Magicians (Canada, USA, Europe), and Glen Cook's A Cruel Wind (Canada, USA, Europe).

Excerpts:

I'm working on a few things, though extracts can be tricky at times. . .

I'm waiting to receive word on the possibility to post an excerpt from Iain M. Banks' Transition (Canada, USA, Europe).

Giveaways:

As always, I have a few things cooking up.

I'll have a set of James Barclay's Chronicles of the Raven -- Dawnthief (Canada, USA, Europe), Noonshade (Canada, USA, Europe), and Nightchild (Canada, USA, Europe) up for grabs in a few weeks.

I'll have a couple of copies of Weis and Hickman's Dragons of the Hourglass Mage up for grabs soon, and the same can be said of L. E. Modesitt, jr.'s Imager's Challenge (Canada, USA, Europe).

There's more, but I'm still waiting to get confirmation on those contests. . .

Stay tuned for more!;-) I'm cooking up something with a number of SFF artists which should be a lot of fun!
