Meeting Mike Carey...

[fajrdrako]

Mike Carey was speaking at the Ottawa Writers Festival today. My thanks to auriaephiala for letting me know; she wasn't familiar with his work, but she knew I would be.

I don't know if I can come - we'll see.

You were there too? I saw bunsen_h at the LeGuin Q&A and another mutual acquaintance as well...

[fajrdrako]

I was there too. Scribbling notes. I didn't get to go to the LeGuin talk - it was sort of heartbreaking that it was scheduled at the same time as the concert I had tickets for. I hope someone will post an account of what she said.

Oh poop in a hat! He's one of my favourite authors and I missed him.

The prose series is really quite good, and I've managed to get a number of my friends hooked on it.

[fajrdrako]

I haven't read the prose series yet, as the first book wasn't available - it had already sold out by the time I got there. And I'd rather not start with #2 if I can help it.

It was great to see him.

So far as I've read, it's been consistently entertaining and pretty darn innovative for urban fantasy.

If it helps, I know that the library has the lot.

Thanks! I've put in a request for the first one.
