Pre-Order The General's Mistress
Mar. 15th, 2012 05:13 pmJo Graham, one of my current favorite authors, has sold the first of a new trilogy of books that I'm excited to read. The publisher is currently considering whether or not to buy the second. Strong pre-order numbers would encourage that sale.
Many of you have read her book Black Ships*. If you liked it, or if it sounds interesting to you, or if you just like supporting good authors, please consider pre-ordering The General's Mistress. If you prefer to support your local booksellers, you can always cancel the order any time before the book drops in October and buy it elsewhere.
*Those of you who haven't read it: it's a wonderful re-imagining of the Aeneid from the perspective of a priestess of Aphrodite Cythera. If you enjoy historical fiction, or woman-centered fiction, or character-driven fiction, or the classics, or just damn fine storytelling--then I suggest you check it out. It's the beginning of a triad of books, but they are sufficiently self-contained that I have no hesitation in recommending any one of them separately.
Thanks!
