Firebirds Rising Signing with Kara Dalkey, Ellen Klages & Sharyn

Sat, Apr 29

Join us in welcoming authors Kara Dalkey and Ellen Klages and editor
Sharyn November to Borderlands! Penguin's website says "FIREBIRDS
RISING is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the award-winning
anthology FIREBIRDS. This collection takes readers from deep space
to Faerie to just around the corner. It is full of magic, humor,
adventure, and - best of all - the unexpected. The one thing readers
can count on is marvelous writing. FIREBIRDS RISING proves once
again that Firebird is more than an imprint - it is a gathering place
for writers and readers of speculative fiction from teenage to adult,
from the United States to Europe, Asia, and beyond." Jude says "I
was very lucky to be able to read this brilliant collection early.
Kara Dalkey's story 'Hives' is both ingenious and chilling, a near-
future look at the cruelty of groups of teenage girls, and Ellen
Klages' 'In the House of the Seven Librarians' is a bittersweet,
funny story that will appeal to any lover of libraries and reading,
and those are just from the attending authors! There are also
exceptional stories by Nina Kiriki Hoffman (those of you who attended
last year's Halloween Dusk 'Til Dawn Story Party may remember
"Unwrapping"), Charles de Lint, Carol Emshwiller, Tamora Pierce, and
so many others. FIREBIRDS was one of the best books of 2003, and
FIREBIRDS RISING is also excellent -- Sharyn November has gathered
another collection of fabulous stories. There is little to be sure
of in this world, but I'm sure that you will like FIREBIRDS RISING.
Come for this reading and discussion; you'll be glad that you did."
