More paper ARCs being given away by my publisher! Publishers Weekly called it “pulse-pounding,” and my mom called it “a fantasy novel, hmm.”

Mr Shep has begun buying bulk kibble for the feral cats behind the house but every time he goes out with a scoop of Meow Mix he makes sure to scold them as “lazy, indolent freeloaders.”

Imagine it is January 13 and the snows are deep and the sun is shrouded and the ice weasels have just dragged off one of your children…but then! What’s this in your mailbox? Why, it’s the copy of the Younger Gods that you preordered during the September 3-5 Barnes & Noble sale.
