More ‘Best of’ lists, Marjorie Liu rocks, and an online book chat

Marjorie Liu is one of my favorite romance and comic book writers (really, can there be a better combination?) Not only does she have a new book out in her fabulous Dirk & Steele series, IN THE DARK OF DREAMS, she’s written an excellent article for Newsarama, challenging non-romance readers to try one out. (She also lists The Iron Duke as one of her recommended reads, which is beyond awesome … but, seriously — I’d be linking to this article, anyway.)

Smart Bitch Sarah has also listed The Iron Duke in her Best of 2010 list over in a column at Kirkus Reviews. Agree with her list, disagree, want to add more? She has an open thread at her site.

Janine at Dear Author also included “Here There Be Monsters” and The Iron Duke on her “best of” list, and Jane from DA had some very nice things to say about the book over at The Book Smugglers.

And speaking of Dear Author, I will be participating in an online chat about The Iron Duke next Saturday. I’ll post the time and details as soon as I have them, but I expect it to be in the evening. I will be chatting the first hour, and then skedaddling so that everyone can talk about the book without me looking over their shoulders.
