Guest Authors Coming Soon to a Book Binge Near You

Posted May 2, 2009 by Holly in Promotions | 5 Comments

Next week we have two amazing authors scheduled to visit Book Binge.

On Tuesday, May 5th, contemporary author Libby Malin will be visiting to celebrate the release of Fire Me (Sourcebooks, May 1).

One day, a dysfunctional office, and a budding romance.

Anne Wyatt has finally had it with incompetent co-workers, a boss who runs hot and cold, and meaningless busywork with impossible deadlines. But the day she goes in determined to hand in her resignation, she learns that her boss is planning to let someone go. She changes course, deciding to try for the lay-off and the severance package that goes with it.

Throughout the day, she engages in hysterical antics designed to attract her boss’ negative evaluation, egged on by Ken, the handsome graphic designer in the next cubicle, who has his own ideas for liberation from the corporate grind. In the end, together Anne and Ken have to decide what is important in life, and what they need to discard without a second glance.

We’re very excited and hope all of you will stop by and make Libby feel welcome. Naturally we’ll be doing a giveaway, too. So make sure you stop by first thing Tuesday morning!

On Wednesday, bestselling author Maria V. Snyder will be visiting to celebrate the release of Storm Glass (Mira, April 28), the first book in a new spin off of her wildly popular Study series. Rowena and I recently had the opportunity to attend a signing with Maria and she was kind enough to sign three extra copies of Storm Glass for us. Make sure you come back on Wednesday to be entered to win a copy!!

As a glassmaker and a magician-in-training, Opal Cowen understands trial by fire. Now it’s time to test her mettle. Someone has sabotaged the Stormdancer clan’s glass orbs, killing their most powerful magicians. The Stormdancers—particularly the mysterious and mercurial Kade—require Opal’s unique talents to prevent it happening again. But when the mission goes awry, Opal must tap in to a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening. And the further she delves into the intrigue behind the glass and magic, the more distorted things appear. With lives hanging in the balance—including her own—Opal must control powers she hadn’t known she possessed…powers that might lead to disaster beyond anything she’s ever known.

We hope you’ll join us next week!
