Well, this is pretty cool. The wonderful people at HarperVoyager are making ten (10) copies of The Book of Dragons available as giveaways to Coode Street readers, listeners, and to dragon lovers all across the United States.
If you’re in the USA, are over eighteen and sign up by following this link and sign up you could be one of ten people drawn randomly and have a free copy of The Book of Dragons on its way to you very soon!
To celebrate, we’ll be featuring a number of Book of Dragons contributors on Ten Minutes with… and will be including links to audio samples from their stories.
Over the coming two weeks we’ll have new podcasts with:
Daniel Abraham
Brooke Bolander
Amal El-Mohtar
Sarah Gailey
R. F. Kuang
and others! We also have already talked to a whole bunch of the Book of Dragons team. Check out the interviews below!
Well, as is clear from the previous post and my social media, this blog was hacked by some nice people who used a bot of some sort to crack an old FTP password, delete everything and inject cruft into the database.
These things happen and it’s taken a bit of time to get the whole thing going again. It’ll take a good while for me to go through and clean up the fifteen or so years worth of posts here so I have to decide if that’s worth the time, so my apologies for odd characters in older posts. I’m also going to give some thought to what place, if any, a blog has in the modern world. It probably should be some kind of personal sales thing, but that doesn’t sound a lot of fun, really.
