Thanks to the kind folks at Waterstones Oxford, I'm going to be doing a reading and signing of QUICKSILVER at their store on 23 April 2013 from 5-6 pm. This free, open-to-the-public event will be followed by a talk at 6 pm with much-touted debut YA author Samantha Shannon (author of THE BONE SEASON, coming fall 2013 from Bloomsbury).

R.j.'s Recent Updates
“He loves me, and I reward his love by forcing on him something he hates. In the evening, after we dance, he rarely returns to the throne; he dances with others or moves from place to place through the room. The court thinks he is trying to be gracious, sharing his attention. Only I see that he moves always to the empty spot and the court always moves after him. He is like a dog trying to escape his own tail. He indulged himself in one brief moment of privacy, and almost died of it. Relius, he hates being king.”

Yes, I totally did write the Fifth Doctor story "Irresistible Force" in this anthology, and I'm still rather fond of it more than ten years later. (It's still on the web if you're curious: http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?s...) Apparently I like to...more |

So I realized I stole Blythe's expression for this book about not feeling fully coherent upon finishing. So very very rarely does a sequel manage to live up to the breath-taking, dinner's late - feed yourself, what's work??, you mean I need to sle...

HOLY CRAP. What a mindfuck of a book. And what a crazily original heroine!
I can't even gather coherent thoughts at this point. Review to come. " |
