Joe Abercrombie has a new novel out: THE DEVILS, volume one in his latest fantasy trilogy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joe has crossed the pond to the US on a promotional tour, and one of his first stops was the historic Kimo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque, where I had the privilege of sitting down with him for an hour to talk writing, reading, fantasy, fandom, and all manner of other stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 We answered a few questions from the audience as well.<\/p>\n

Joe is a terrific writer and an even better guest.<\/p>\n

We had a lot of fun, and I believe the audience did as well.\u00a0\u00a0 The Kimo was full nearly to bursting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the talking Joe did a bit of signing. inscribing copies for Bookworks, the sponsoring bookshop.\u00a0 They may still have a left down there in Albquerque.<\/p>\n

He signed some books for my own Beastly Books as well, and Twig and I lugged them back to Santa Fe.\u00a0 I would tell you how to write in and grab one, but alas, we sold out within two days of arrival.\u00a0\u00a0 Plainly, we should have ordered more.<\/p>\n

((We still have autographed copies of my own books, though.\u00a0 Hardcovers, softcovers, fantasy, science fiction, graphic novels, signed and unsigned, what have you.\u00a0\u00a0 Lots of other good stuff as well)).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you have not read any of Joe’s previous novels, you don’t know what you’re missing.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s a powerful, evocative writer with a unique voice, one of the brightest fantasists on the current scene.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He never disappoints.\u00a0\u00a0 He writes a lot faster than I do too, so there won’t be nearly as much waiting.<\/p>\n

I had thought the Kimo would be videotaping our talk, but, alas, there was some sort of mix-up and that did not happen.\u00a0 I am told some of fans present taped the discussion, but only on audio.\u00a0\u00a0 You might be able to find that on the internet.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joe is off to Atlanta, Austin, Denver, and various other stops.\u00a0\u00a0 Catch him if you can.<\/p>\n
