I first met Carrie Vaughn at a Fark party in Denver a few years ago. At the time she was an unpublished author, but her first book was getting ready to come out. She asked me if I'd like a copy, I said yes. And it was pretty freakin good. So I put up a link to her first book on Fark and told people it was good. A bunch of you bought it and agreed.

Fast forward to the present day: Carrie's 7th book has just launched. Books 4, 5, and 6 all hit the NYT Bestseller list. However with this new book Carrie is switching publishers and due to "difficulties" regarding this switch, the soon-to-be-former publisher decided to drop all publicity for this latest book. Which is completely goddamn retarded in my opinion.

I hate seeing a friend getting jacked around by morons, so I figured I'd do a quick post for all of you who bought one or more of her books in the past to say hey there's a new one out, check it out, you'll probably like it. It's definitely worth a look if you haven't read any of Carrie's stuff before.

And that's not actually her on the cover but it looks similar enough to her that she could be on her own covers. Maybe she'll do that next series

Funny how you guys ridicule this kind of drivel whenever it shows up UNLESS IT IS WRITTEN BY A FARKER.

You know, the whole Twilight series made the best-seller list as well - that doesn't make it good literature.

Typical of the hypocrisy you jackholes never fail to display.

\also the reason I will never pay to support this site.

Speaking of `getting the shaft' - there's a certain matter of a beer owed to a contributor, Drew.
I would have settled for an American one but the interest incurred has increased the value to something Irish or German.
Don't let this grow into a bottle of single-malt Scotch!

I'd love to see this whole thing get promoted to the point the publisher feels some heat.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait ...

You mean to tell me that someone on Fark actually DID something?

How much longer would it take for the interest to "increase" the value to a Canadian beer?

I'm trying to think of a good literary euphemism.

I'd proofread it?
