TWO SERPENTS RISE Signings, and THREE PARTS DEAD $2.99 Sale

Greetings human beings from Planet Getting Ready For Book Launch, where we spend our days listening to Vienna Teng and Cake as we prepare for our book to come out NEXT TUESDAY AAAAH.

I am compiling schemes with regard to the plans I mentioned yesterday for Two Serpents Rise giveaways—expect more on that when I’ve assembled a sufficient lead time on my various guestblog posts and interviews.  In the meantime, I thought I’d fill y’all in on signing plans for TWO SERPENTS RISE, and announce an awesome sale Tor’s running for the rest of the month.

SIGNING / BIG EVENT SCHEDULE TIME:

  • Tuesday, October 29: LAUNCH PARTY at Pandemonium Books and Games, 4 Pleasant Street, Cambridge MA, 7:00 PM!  Come say hello, have a pastry, hear me read, recommend me books, grill me about magic systems, discuss your favorite Star Wars theories, communicate with me in Hawkguy-creepy-Russian-speak (basically you just say bro a lot), have a great time!
  • Tuesday, November 5: Reddit AMA at r/fantasy!  I did one of these super question-and-answer sessions last year, and it was a blast.  I look forward to even more blasting.
  • Saturday, November 9: New York City Signing at Enigma Bookstore, 33-17 Crescent Street, Astoria, New York, 7:00 PM!  I am informed that Astoria is actually within New York City, even though it’s not within New York County, which—awesome!  I’ll be signing with some other folks here—Laura Ann Gilman and Hal Johnson—and we should have an excellent time.
  • Tuesday, November 19: Signing at Porter Square Books, 25 White Street, Cambridge, MA, 7:00 PM! Back in the habit, just like Sister Act 2.  Readings.  Signings.  Possible performance art!  Probably no performance art.  But still, not an event to miss.
  • December 6-8: Anonycon in Stamford, CT.  Last year we ran a game based in the Craft Sequence world.  This year, possibly more games?  Also I’ll be there writing and hanging out and signing books, so come and say hi!

More madness will transpire throughout the next several weeks, but those are the in-person and / or live highlights.  However!  You may be interested to know, in case you didn’t already, that in preparation for the TWO SERPENTS RISE launch, Tor Books has cut prices on THREE PARTS DEAD ebooks down to $2.99 for the rest of the month of October.  Always wanted an electronic copy?  Get one now!  Available wherever fine ebooks are sold!  For example, available on Barnes and Noble! iBookstore! Those Guys Named After The River!  Other places too, I’m sure.

Time to run, but rock on folks!

Come See Me at New York Comic Con!

Since the website’s already updated, I finally feel comfortable announcing the news: I’ll be speaking at New York Comic Con!  I’m delivering a panel on Friday, a panel on Saturday, and signing books.  Here are the juicy juicy details!

In Panel 1, CHARACTERS: HARD CORE VS. BADASS, I will break at least two of the rules of Fight Club, and talk about characters’ strengths, challenges, and the disparity between them.  This one is all me, no backup, no other panelists, no moderator.  Fear for your lives.

Date: Friday, October 12
11:00 am – 11:45 am

Location: Unbound Stage

Speaker: Max Gladstone

Description:
What makes one character Hardcore and another Badass? Is there really a difference? Novelist Max Gladstone breaks it down by dissecting some of the greatest heroes and villains from books, gaming, comics, film and television, revealing the unique alchemy of each one and what every writer needs to think about in order to create truly unforgettable characters.

And Panel 2, HOCUS POCUS: MAGIC & MONSTERS IN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY, in which I share the stage with some seriously terrifying people, talking about the seriously terrifying powers, and phenomena that fill our work, and from which we all expect (foolishly, I think) to be allowed to leave unaccompanied by nice men in white coats:

Date: Saturday, October 13
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Location: 1A08

Speakers: Andrea Cremer , Beth Revis , Cecil Castellucci , Jacqueline Carey , Jocelynn Drake , Kim Harrison , Max Gladstone , Richard Kadrey , Victoria Schwab

Description:
Science-Fiction and Fantasy authors discuss the costs and consequences of “magic” in their novels. Moderator Beth Revis will have authors Andrea Cremer, Jacqueline Carey, Jocelynn Drake, Kim Harrison, Max Gladstone, Cecil Castellucci, Victoria Schwab and Richard Kadrey dishing about the scary, hairy and dangerous creatures that lurk in the worlds they have created. Moderated by Beth Revis.

And of course: BOOK SIGNINGS (signings inings nings ings ngs gs s…):

Max Gladstone: Saturday, 2:45-3:45pm. Autographing tables 2,3, and 4

Presumably I’ll be at one of those three tables, unless the Javits Center has some creepy co-location magic of which I’m unaware.

If you’re in NYC and want to brave the wilds of Javits, come see me!  Hear me!  Rock out!
