On the Bright Side

You know what's nifty? Three of the books I gave my neiflings for presents were written by friends of mine. Isn't it awesome? I personally know authors good enough to give their books as presents!

The authors in question were:
Anne Hamilton - "The Many-Coloured Realm" (given to niece)
rj_anderson - "Rebel" (given to same niece, who, on seeing it, said "Is Arrow out yet?" to which I answered "No, but I have it on pre-order")
altariel - "The King's Dragon" (given to nephew who loves Doctor Who)

After all the years you've been in fandom and all the fan writers you've known, it would only be surprising if you DIDN'T know any writers good enough to give their books as gifts! Not to mention artists who have gone on to illustrate books and book covers (both of which have come in handy to me since I've been involved with Andromeda Spaceways and run a library...) :-)

Sue?

Whoops!

Not sure what happened, but my ID doesn't show up on this, so my comment on your post came up as anonymous and it's demanding something called a Dreamwidth account! Is Livejournal doing this to all of us? Sue (only on "anonymous because it won't let me in otherwise!)

Re: Whoops!

You're replying on the Dreamwidth post, not the LiveJournal one, that's why.

I've only read the last of these, but it was very good!

The other two are childrens' fantasy, so I'm not surprised you haven't read them.

Very much hope your nephew enjoys it.

He told me this morning that he'd started it and liked it. He may or may not remember to report back to me on what he thought of it when he's finished it (they leave tomorrow morning).

After all your years in fandom, it would only be surprising if you DIDN'T know any writers good enough to be published! ;-)
