Today I'm over at
The Book Smugglers, talking about inspirations and influences and giving away two ARCs of Masks and Shadows!
Here's a quick snippet of the blog entry:
I still remember the day I found Judith Tarr’s Alamut in my local library when I was a teenager. Discovering that book felt like having a lightbulb go off in my head.
It was a fantasy novel. It was a historical novel. And it had a strong romance. It was all three of my favorite things together in one book...and I’d had no idea that people could actually do that!...
You can read the rest, and enter to win an ARC, over at
The Book Smugglers. (The giveaway is open internationally.)
