FEED Release Party at Borderlands Books!

This Saturday, May 8th 2010, I will be appearing at San Francisco's own Borderlands Books in my guise as Mira Grant to celebrate the release of Mira's first novel, Feed [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy]. Feed is a science fiction dystopian novel of political zombie terror, best described as "Night of the Living Dead meets The West Wing and Transmetropolitan." If that sounds a little weird, well...it is. But if it sounds a little awesome, you should totally swing by.

This is going to be a more traditional event than most of my parties, because Mira's a traditional kind of girl...especially if by "traditional" you mean "fond of machetes, the undead, and things that go bump in the night." We'll be in the bookstore starting at five, and we'll be staying there until nine, providing plenty of time for undead awesomeness. There will be readings, discussion, time for wandering around the bookstore, and, yes, the world's best cupcakes. Some of my best friends from out of town will be attending, so this is your chance to finally check off "Rae" on your Seanan bingo card.

I really hope you can make it, and if you can't, remember that you can contact Borderlands to request a signed/personalized book be set aside for you.

Whee!

ETA: Festivities will begin at 5:00 PM, and continue until 9:00.

Oh, how I miss living in the City!!!! I love Borderland books. It's always a must-see whenever I visit SF. Although I always seem to go on the days when the hairless cat is not in....

Have fun at the release party!

I'm with the above commenter. Just finished FEED. Loved it. I really enjoyed the Toby books too, but urban fantasy fairies are my niche. I've never liked zombies before, but this book was so awesome. Inventive, funny, heart-breaking. I love Georgia and Shaun, but the supportng cast is great too. Mahir, Rick, Steve. Great book. Can't wait for the sequel.

I hate you so much right now. Exactly 2 rows of knitting have been accomplished in the last 24 hours. Why?? Because "Feed" is eating my damn brain!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't put the damn thing down! It's just so good!!!
I liked the first 2 Toby books, but I was able to space them out and knit in between chapters, but "Feed"? NO! I must finish this book! NOW!!!!!!!!

It's your fault!
