ATTN: Neil Gaiman Fans

Hey Neil Gaiman fans,

Here's some exciting news for you if you are in or can get to New York or San Francisco! Neil Gaiman has just announced that he will be taking his performance of The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains to the USA around the end of June and tickets go on sale tomorrow, February 18th at 10amfor San Francisco and 11am for New York. On the 4th and 5th of July, he'll be performing in London at the Barbican too. Seriously though, if you're going to London, take me with you!

What is this performance, you ask?

Neil Gaiman will be reading his novelette, The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains (available to read) and will be accompanied by the FourPlay String Quartet and paintings by Eddie Campbell. Sounds like an exciting, immersive literary experience to me! Still not sure what I'm talking about?

Find out more on his website HERE.

Alsoooooo, The Truth... is going to be released as a graphic novel with Eddie Campbell's illustrations. Check out the released cover below!

I found out about this because I am a fan of Neil Gaiman on GoodReads.com!

Gail Carriger Coming to Seattle!

Good news everybody!

Gail Carriger is coming to Seattle! NEXT WEEKEND.

Gail Carriger is the mastermind behind the steampunk, fantasy, romance, adventure, comedy-of-manners series, The Parasol Protectorate starring Ms. Alexia Tarabotti. Alexia's Italian (gasp!) father has left her with quite a large nose, unfortunately tan skin, and her ridiculous mother and her silly step-sisters (and you thought the Bennet women were silly). What is perhaps all the more interesting, however, is what she has not: a soul. With a fantastic cast of characters, yes, including vampires and werewolves, but this is not Twilight fan-fiction, Alexia addresses some new supernatural disturbances occurring in London -- that are indeed most disturbing to her! -- while never missing tea and generally shocking the neighbors.
