So Tie-Tie

Sometime around the 15th, elizabethth informed me that the copy of A Magic of Twilight they'd ordered for me had arrived. What with one thing or another, I was unable to swing by Dreamhaven and purchase the book until Saturday.

I have since been staying up way too late reading the book. The only reason I didn't do an all-nighter Saturday night/Sunday morning was because we were scheduled for Easter dinner with mizzlaurajean's family at her Aunt and Uncle's house, and I knew that falling asleep during dinner is not considered acceptable behavior.

So, the reading got spread out over several days, and last night I (once again) stayed up too late and finished the book.

I'm impressed - I enjoyed the book very much. So much that I think I'm going to have to chain the author to his word processor during AppleCon so he can polish up the next volume, with the idea of not having too wait so long for its appearance.

Since that would be a really shabby way to treat a GoH, I probably won't do that - but the temptation is definitely there.

I felt that way about the Cloudmages books.

We could do a short demonstration chaining.

I've enjoyed the two Cloudmages books I've read, and I'll be starting on the third one Real Soon Now.

I liked this one even more.

I'd add Sarah Monette to the list, but she immurred herself with her manuscript to do just that, and hasn't been heard from since; I hope it's going well for her!

I also think it may be hard for the musician GoH to play if you do that.:)

Not so - he'd just have to shift from playing bass to playing percussion ("And on chains, let's have a nice hand for Steven Leigh...")

Ooh, writing bondage... Hmm...

*Ahem*

FWIW, the second volume is slated for March 09; I doubt Sheila's gonna budge much on that. And I'm glad you liked the book, David. Thanks for the kind comments (which is the real reason most of us write... It sure ain't for the money!)

Well, I have something to look forward to at the end of next Winter...
