I want to recommend fantasy author John Moore to all my friends. If you like fantasy and enjoy a good sense of humor, go read this man's books. Imagine that Terry Pratchett and William Goldman had a love child, and he grew up to be a writer, too.

I have him down as one of the authors that when I see a new book of his - generally at an SF con's dealer's room - we buy it, no questions, no examining it and wondering, JUST BUY IT.

We got A Fate Worse Than Dragons at FenCon. Oh, that was fun!

What's the title of that first one he published you mentioned at FenCon?

I don't remember which one I'd mentioned at FenCon. Maybe the one I'd had to get through ILL? That was Slay and Rescue. There's info on all his books at that webpage link I put in the post. It says Slay and Rescue is back in print!

That was it.

Out of stock and Barnes & Noble, which is where the webpage links.
Amazon.com has the hardback for $31.99 shipping in 4-6 weeks.
They have the paperback available used for $17.

Decisions decisions.

My younger son and I both love his books. I think I've read 3 so far, and intend to get the newest one soon.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGhhh!

I am in the throes of preparing for the YRC booktalks and am thus unable to read anything but YRC titles. You are a bad, bad, bad, woman for tempting me with another Really Good Book to Read when I have a monstrous stack sending out practically-visible book-pheremones in my house already (including of printout of Meg's novel, I cheated and read the first two pages. I want more!)

But I went ahead and put it on hold anyway :-)

Googling, I'm guessing that YRC is Young Readers' Choice? I'd recommend these books to young readers! Well, teens anyway.

Well, that's encouraging, I must say...
