Pretenders at Stacey's Book Club
Here's Stacey Schiller, a friend and former employee of mine, who kindly asked her book club if they'd take on Part 3: Pretenders for their March book. Always a pleasure to be adopted by a book club. I've asked her to report back on how people fared with starting on book 3 and the reactions of non-SciFi readers as well.Labels: book club, Pretenders, Stacey Schiller

Catherine takes Amel into Protective Custody
I've been charged with character abuse, and Catherine has taken Amel into protective custody on facebook. I guess if Amel can have an "envoy period" between parts 3 and 4 of the saga, he can do a little time out with a benevolent reader in there as well. Maybe we'll get an envoy-period story out of the idea. :-)

KP, the woman who brings us the pleasure of new ORU buttons each time I add a new book to the saga, and is one of those inspiring people of integrity, energy and mission who makes me proud to be a librarian (in some of my past lives), posted about Part 3: Pretenders on her blog. She's in charge of the library of the College of New Caledonia.

Shades of Mel's elevator speech! But I have promised Amel he'll "man up" (as Hal Friesen put it) in the second half of the series. Just a bit! And have a few good days. :-)

Pretenders Has Arrived!
Cathy, a new convert who is a friend of my daughter Angela, called Courtesan Prince "Amel" and Righteous Anger "Horth". So I'm guessing she'll call Part 3: Pretenders "Di Mon". And it's here! My author's copies arrived this week!

Thanks to the miracle of google alerts, I discovered Part 3: Pretenders in the "mail bag" of a sub-page of http://www.fantasybookspot.com ... which is mildly confusing since I didn't think the book was out yet. But still cool.Labels: Pretenders

A reminder from Morgan Duford telling me my account was about to expire on the CSFFS (Calgary Science Fiction and Fantasy Society) board prompted me not only to login but to try my hand and making a call for participation for the Con-Version 24 Event, August 15 - 17, 2008 in Calgary, AB. I'll be celebrating the imminent arrival of Book #3: Pretenders, there, and giving people an update of progress with the ORU Collection. Keeping my fingers crossed we'll have examples of ORU Collection books, day-job willing.

Mel recently gave me some "chibbie" art -- which is a sort of anime style -- featuring characters in Righteous Anger. I'm puttering at getting it up in the gallery whenever she's around to supervise my work in photoshop doing the coloring. She has also agreed to take on the organizing for a student art show at the launch for Book #3: Pretenders, September 30, 2008, at the Prince George Public Library. Go Mel. One less thing for me to worry about as I slog away at porting titles with some help from First Expansion friends.Labels: art, Book Launch, First Expansion, Mel, Pretenders
