Plan your next trip with LAFFERTY AIR!

Nothing says "big American holiday" like planning a trip to a city you've never seen before, right? And what better way to start your trip planning than with a pair of travel guides showing two famous American cities from a...different...point of view?

I'm giving away two signed Mur Lafferty books: The Shambling Guide to New York City and Ghost Train to New Orleans. These fun, fascinating, unique urban fantasies follow the adventures of a travel guide publishing house for, well, monsters.

Yes.

One part urban fantasy awesome, one part Travel Channel enthralling, and all Mur Lafferty snark, these books make me happy. And now they can make you happy! (Although they could also make you happy if you bought them, so remember, all books are available through other means.) To enter...

1. Leave a comment on this post.
2. Name a city you've always wanted to see.
3. Identify your country of origin.

That's it! The winner will be chosen from qualifying entries via RNG on Thursday, July 10th, so you have a week.

Game on!

I'm a long time fan of Mur's (she was even on my old podcast once, long ago), so winning this would be awesome. Granted, I already have a signed book of hers (the Lulu.com print of Playing For Keeps), but...

Anyway, a city I've always wanted to see? Washington D.C. For realsies, not like in 2009. See, I had to fly into Ronald Reagen airport to get to a con in Baltimore because Frontier airlines (which I fly because my Dad works for them so I get a discount) doesn't fly into Baltimore's airport. My flight landed early enough that I could've strolled to the train station to catch my train to Baltimore, so I could've appreciated some of the sights along the way. I get to baggage claim, one of my two bags comes out, and then the damn conveyor shuts off for 30 freaking minutes! Everyone on that flight who hadn't gotten any or only some of their bags had to wait, and I had to run like hell (and I was not in the best of shape in 2009) to catch my train so I didn't get to really see anything due to my blind panic.

So yeah, US is country of origin for purposes of this entry.
