Modern Fae Winner
Mar. 7th, 2012 09:12 pmMolly has spoken! I did have to rein in the festivities as Molly decided she needed to hoard the pieces of paper with names on them, but before all that ferret-y craziness she kicked a name free. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
charisstoma, you shall have a copy of Modern Fae sent your way. Drop me a message with your address and who you would like the book scribbled to.
I will be at a mass signing Saturday in Albany NY, and then a release shindig down at LunaCon. I am happy to scribble in a book (and get other authors and editors involved to scribble in it as well) and send it along. It would be $8/bk. Drop me a message if you are interested.
I asked folks to tell me their favorite fae entity when entering the drawing for the copy of Modern Fae, so it wouldn't be fair if I did not say something along those lines. My favorites are the shape changers, the ones that can pass as human to a point. I like the between-ness of faery mythology. It gives me something to look at, to roll around my head and in the back of my mouth as I search for its flavor. Selkie to Kitsune to Coyote and everything in-between. The thing that has always attracted me to faery myth is how much interacting with faeries made me think about what makes something human. As a writer, how do I capture the faery without making it too human, while still allowing it to adapt in some way to a very human modern world? And that was the challenge, and the fun, of writing for this anthology.
