just your friendly neighborhood book pusher...

Many years ago -- many MANY years ago -- I worked with a young writer...

okay, she was older than I was, but only just, and this was so long ago I was a mere pup myself.

A different century, even.

Okay, look, it was 1992, okay? Back when she was writing as Roxanne Longstreet and I was a wee baby editor at Berkley. And we didn't work together long but we worked together well, and I when I went to Roc I got to buy a new series from her called the Weather Warden series, and got to watch as she got all famous 'n shit and....


Wait. You, in the back. You don't know from Rachel Caine?

Dude. Where you BEEN?

Okay, all right, I can remedy this.

Today, UNSEEN,the third book in Outcast Season is released.


And for those of you who haven't been keeping up, I'm going to give you a chance to discover the caramel popcorn can't-stop-reading fun that is a Rachel Caine book FROM THE BEGINNING, by winning a copy of Book 1 of the Outcast series, UNDONE.


All you have to do is email me at lag/at/lauraannegilman/dot/net and tell me you need it BAD, before Friday, February 4th at 6am.

As usual, The Oracular Cat will pick one winner in Her Feline Random Manner.

Holy crap, you're the one who bought the Weather Wardens series from her? THAT IS SO COOL. :)

I loathed the first Weather Warden book and never read the others. Maybe this series is better?

I like the books (obviously) but I never insist other people try things they proclaim to loathe.

Oh, naturally. I'm just saying it's entirely possible that this series doesn't have the flaws that I perceived in that other book, but heaven knows when or if this one will turn up in my local library!

(And really, I'm thinking I should give the later Weather Warden books a chance, too. The library seems to have at least one of them, and it was structural flaws that bugged me, not the writing itself.)

Well they build on each other all the way through the series. I don't know how accessible they would be to a new reader after the 3rd book or so. And they actually come together for an ending, which surprised me.
