Open Road Media tells me that "Bride of the Rat-God," one of my personal favorites of all my books, is on sale today (Jan 10) on Amazon (and, they say, other formats as well) for $1.99.
http://www.amazon.com/Bride-Rat-God-Barbara-Hambly-ebook/dp/B004TC146E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389359951&sr=8-1&keywords=bride+of+the+rat+god
Otherwise, a day of good work, though I might play hooky for an extra afternoon at Anime LA. My classes at the college start up the 2nd week of February - U.S. History (pre-Civil War) and World History - so I'm getting as much done as I can.

This is absolutely the best title for a book I've ever heard. Makes me want to RUN out and read it.
This is one of my two favorite Barbara Hambly books (which is saying a lot, because I love all of them). The other is "Stranger at the Wedding" -- I can never pick which one I love best. They're both awesome.
I try to rank the books by series myself. Antryg and Ben Janvier win (with Homeland as special category for standalone). Antryg because Antryg, and Ben Janvier because I started to get the 'friends, and I never want to stop reading about them' feeling for SO many characters. Ben and Hannibal and Rose and others. Maybe that's my perception of Barbara's portrayal of the intensity of 'home' that brought Ben back to America. The Sun Wolf and Starhawk novels were the first Hambly books I read though, and they have a special place. --It feels odd to say 'Hambly' or 'the author' on Barbara Hambly's blog, but odd to say 'Barbara' when I haven't even ever emailed Barbara Hambly. I'd really like to start calling everyone Friend [Barbara] or Friend [Hambly], but then everybody would assume things about my religious views. The Soviet Union kind of gave Comrade a bad rep, and if I say Pan/Pani - Polish Mr./Ms., Andrei Sinyavsky wrote about them in a paragraph somewhere about what the zeks (GULAG prisoners) experimented with to call each other, since Comrade was often out and Citizen was what you called the guards - then nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about. It would be so much cooler if spoken sentences came with little spheres of telepathic energy that you could stick citations in.
