I have a signed copy of Mouse and Dragon [Amazon]. The new Liadin Universe book. The direct sequel to Scout's Progress, the book that hooked me on Lee and Miller in the first place (while sitting in Rika's living room in Peterborough, England, thus proving that good things come from travel). Daav and Aelliana! Possibly my favorite space opera romantic couple, like, ever!
Did I mention that it's signed? To me? Because oh, right, I gave them a cover blurb, which is right there on the back cover. My very first published cover blurb, and it's on a Liadin novel by Lee and Miller.
As my beloved Deborah recently said to me, FUCK YEAH, SEAKING. (It's a Pokemon joke. Don't worry about it. On second thought, maybe you should worry about me making Pokemon jokes.)
If you're not familiar with Lee and Miller's work, you should be. They do space opera the way it's meant to be done, sort of Jane Austen meets rip-roaring adventure and also, starships. There's a compilation of three of the "origin stories" coming out soon, titled Dragon Variations, and the rest of the series is reasonably easy to track down.
I love these books enough to write cover blurbs for them. Also, I have a signed copy of Mouse and Dragon, which proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that it's awesome.
FUCK YEAH, SEAKING.
Glee.

As long as it isn't puns, you're probably fine.

I am, however, thoroughly pleased that my booklove has inspired booklove in you and all this wonderful contact between authors! Yay! :)
(...and pleased that your favourite is one of my two favourites of theirs, too, the other being "Local Custom".:)
Good things come from travel, and good things come from friends!

1. My roommate picked up Rosemary and Rue from the Los Angeles Times Book Fair by herself with no prompting from me. So now there are three copies of the book at my place. the ARC I got at Comic Con, the book I bought for myself and my roommates. I promised to loan her Local Habitation, of course.
2. Feed + the Weeping Angels = Really weird and scary dreams.

Have I mentioned that I have a signed (by both) first edition of Agent of Change? Still yours is cooler.

Best thing about the book: I knew how it ended, and it got me anyway. That's art.
