PSST! WANNA DIE HORRIBLY?

And now you can! Or you can just come and have a friendly chat... because I'm doing a signing at the Forbidden Planet megastore in London, on Friday 12th February.

At the store, the lovely staff are running a COMPETITION, and the winner gets to have a character bearing their name DIE A PAINFUL AND GRUESOME DEATH in Point, the sequel to Edge! What could be nicer?

And we all get to meet Paris-based Aliette de Bodard, the award-winning short fiction writer whose debut novel is appearing next week. It's an Aztec mystery/fantasy, so what I'm wondering is, whose novel has the most blood, hers or mine?

P.S. The UK publication of Absorption has been rescheduled for May 20th.  Only Edge is appearing in February. Official UK publication date is February 4th.
