On passe un excellent moment captivante et addictif en compagnie de Kaloo et Dashif. A la fois, sombre, mystérieux et attachants , ces deux personnages nous entrainent dans leur aventure avec panache et on sort un peu déçu de les abandonner aussi vite.mon avis en intégralité sur Un brin de lecture Présentation de l'éditeurDans la majestueuse cité portuaire de Liavek, les habitants reçoivent une dose de « chance » chaque année, le jour de leur anniversaire. La plupart des gens ne peuvent utiliser ce pouvoir, seuls les sorciers ont appris à le manipuler, souvent à leur propre profit. Kaloo, une jeune orpheline, sent qu’elle pourrait apprivoiser et développer sa « chance », mais comment faire alors qu’elle ignore sa date de naissance ? Taraudée par cette question, elle consulte un mage pour tenter de lever le voile sur ses origines.

  • Dear Authors, a Group of Us Have Gotten Together to Write A
    Dear Authors, A group of us have gotten together to write a joint letter to our readers about the dispute Amazon is having with the publisher Hachette. That letter is below, along with a list of signatories so far. This is a work in progress. We are asking authors to join us in this effort. When we are done collecting signatures, we plan to publish in a full-page ad in the New York Times. If you are an author and wish to sign the letter, please email me at [email protected]. I will gladly add your name to the list. This is a totally independent effort. No organization, company, or publishing house is sponsoring us. With best wishes, Douglas Preston A letter to our readers: Amazon is involved in a commercial dispute with the book publisher Hachette, which owns Little Brown, Grand Central Publishing, and other familiar imprints. These sorts of disputes happen all the time between companies and they are usually resolved in a corporate back room. But in this case, Amazon has done something unusual. It has directly targeted Hachette’s authors in an effort to force their publisher to agree to its terms. For the past month, Amazon has been: --Boycotting Hachette authors, refusing to accept pre-orders on Hachette’s authors’ books, claiming they are “unavailable.” --Refusing to discount the prices of many of Hachette’s authors’ books. --Slowing the delivery of thousands of Hachette’s authors’ books to Amazon customers, indicating that delivery will take as long as several weeks on most titles.

The collection includes writings of participants, memorabilia, and class rosters. Administrative History The Clarion Workshop is an intensive six-week summer program focused on fundamentals particular to the writing of science fiction and fantasy. It is considered a premier proving and training ground for aspiring writers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Clarion was founded by Robin Scott Wilson in 1968 at Clarion State College (now Clarion University) in Pennsylvania. Wilson built his system partly on the tradition of mutual criticism in use at the Milford Science Fiction Writers' Conference, a workshop for professional SF writers established by Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm (who helped Wilson with Clarion as well).

  • Dear Authors, a Group of Us Have Gotten Together To
    Dear Authors, A group of us have gotten together to write a joint letter to our readers about the dispute Amazon is having with the publisher Hachette. That letter is below, along with a list of signatories so far. This is a work in progress. We are asking authors to join us in this effort. When we are done collecting signatures, we plan to publish in a full-page ad in the New York Times. This is a totally independent effort. No organization, company, or publishing house is sponsoring us. If you note any errors, misspellings, or omissions of names in the letter please email me at [email protected]. With best wishes, Douglas Preston A letter to our readers: Amazon is involved in a commercial dispute with the book publisher Hachette, which owns Little, Brown, Grand Central Publishing, and other familiar imprints. These sorts of disputes happen all the time between companies and they are usually resolved in a corporate back room. But in this case, Amazon has done something unusual. It has directly targeted Hachette’s authors in an effort to force their publisher to agree to its terms. For the past month, Amazon has been: --Boycotting Hachette authors, refusing to accept pre-orders on Hachette’s authors’ books, claiming they are “unavailable.” --Refusing to discount the prices of many of Hachette’s authors’ books. --Slowing the delivery of thousands of Hachette’s authors’ books to Amazon customers, indicating that delivery will take as long as several weeks on most titles. As writers—some but not all published by Hachette—we feel strongly that no bookseller should block the sale of books or otherwise prevent or discourage customers from ordering or receiving the books they want.
