This Sunday’s version of the Sunday post takes place at Dragon*Con, so today’s motto is: “Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup”. I’ve probably picked up some signed copies of too many books in the Hucksters’ Room by now. And added way too many t-shirts to my t-shirt collection. (I’ve got to weed some of the ones I really can’t wear…one of these centuries)
And as happy as I am to be at Dragon*Con, there a part of me that’s sad not to be at WorldCon this weekend in Chicago. We would have managed, somehow, if it hadn’t required a TARDIS. <sniff>
This is Labor Day weekend here in the States. The last three-day holiday weekend that a lot of people get until Thanksgiving. That’s what makes it the end of summer.
Before we forge ahead to Fall, or even to the upcoming week, there’s one big giveaway from last week that you still have plenty of time to get in on.
If you love small-town romance, take a look at Susan Wigg’s Return to Willow Lake. I reviewed it on Thursday (I’m afraid I waxed really eloquent), and Susan is offering a giveaway of one print copy of the book. So if you like her work, here’s a great chance for a free book. (US only this time, sorry.)
Coming up this week, I’ve got one review/interview combo this Thursday, too. Kerry Adrienne will be here on September 6 to talk about the first two books in her All Mine series under the Decadent Press 1Night Stand series, Druid, Mine and Senator, Mine. (Not US Senators, Senators in Ancient Rome, much yummier) Mixing the 1Night Stand concept with time travel, yes time travel, turns out to be pretty cool. Both books were a LOT of fun.
Don’t worry, I’ll have plenty of other books to talk about this week. I’m in the middle of Laurie R. King’s new Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell book, Garment of Shadows. (No, I can’t resist Sherlock Holmes, apparently ever).
And looking ahead to next week, I’ll be hosting visits from Lia Davis, to talk about her paranormal entry in the 1Night Stand series, Ravished Before Sunrise.
I’ll also have a special treat, because it’s science fiction romance. I have an interview with Heather Long to get the scoop on her new superhero/time-travel/science fiction romance story, Yesterday’s Heroes. Even better, it’s the first book in a series, so there are more for me to look forward to.
So what are you reading to welcome Fall?
You’re at Dragon Con? You suck!
I’m at work, serving ungrateful travelers!
Have fun at DragonCon, Marlene! I’ve heard the Laurie King books are great. I’ll be looking forward to what you think of it.
What am I reading? At the moment, I’m looking forward to pulling S.G. Rogers’, The Druid off the pile. *nods* It looks good, I think. Have a good week!

Cannot wait for you review of Garment of Shadow. I love the Tardis reference as I am Whovian. Loved the season premier. I am off to try and win Higgins book, I am a sucker for small town romances. Wish I was at Dragon*Con with you..it sounds like such fun. We did enjoy our lazy three day weekend and yes it’s the last long weekend till Thanksgiving. This will be the first year my oldest won’t be with us, as she has met a very special young man and will be traveling with him and his parents to meet the grandparents. *wipes tear from eye* Oh well, have an awesome week!
