Book rec: Just finished The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin, and really enjoyed it. It's a secondary world fantasy set in a world modeled on Ancient Egypt, with where a Gatherer-priest of the Dreaming Moon begins to suspect that something terrible is stalking the city. (I've always been a fan of anything set in Ancient Egypt or influenced by it. Thanks to National Geographic, as a kid I went straight from dinosaurs to Ancient Egypt. Two of my favorite books by Andre Norton were Wraiths of Time, set in an alt-universe SF version of Meroe and Shadow Hawk, set in Egypt under the Hyksos.) I don't want to talk too much about what happens because I don't want to spoil it, but did want to note that even though there is a second book in the set, The Shadowed Sun, out this month, that The Killing Moon was a complete story and didn't end on a cliffhanger.

Appearance: Tomorrow, on Saturday (June 9) I'll be doing a talk on SF/F and publishing at 1:30 at the College Station Public Library. I'll be signing books, and the local Barnes and Noble should be there with copies of The Cloud Roads and The Serpent Sea to sell. I'll also have some of my older books available.
