Speaking of Happiness

[ladysprite]

So once upon a time there was an awesome collection of urban fantasy stories and novellas and novels, called the Borderlands series. I fell in love with them when I was in high school, and I still go back and reread them on a semi-regular basis. The last one was written years and years ago.

Except it turns out that there's a new anthology coming out this summer. And one of my favorite writers, whom I discovered through said series, was holding a contest to give away an advance reading copy of the new book. All you had to do to enter was write an idea, or a scene, of how you would run away to Bordertown.

She just announced the winner today.

okay. Maybe y'all are right, and I might have a knack for this words-thing.

I'd say more, but I'm too busy feeling rather like someone hit me in the back of the head with a two-by-four. In a good way, but still. Poleaxed.

Wow.

Edited to add - If you want to read my entry, she links to the contest in the above page; mine is on page 4 of the comments. I think it's #90.....

...I hadn't even heard of it. Looking it up on Amazon, I clearly need to hunt it down ASAP - thank you for the heads-up!

(And so awesome to find someone else who's read the Bordertown books - they are one of the most underappreciated series I've ever seen....)

Oh, yes. John Ford's last novel, took Bordertown to the 1920's, jazz instead of thrash. If you have trouble finding it, I'll loan you my copy - you'll want to own it, though .

Have you read the Liavek series? It's another shared universe done by the same set of people.
