Author Introduction: D.B. Jackson
Feb. 7th, 2011 08:31 amAs part of the promo for the After Hours: Tales From the Ur-bar release, I figured I’d highlight all of the contributors to the anthology individually. And while we’re at it, run a contest as well! So here’s the deal, to enter the contest you have to either friend the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
afterhoursurbar community here on LiveJournal OR you have to like the After Hours: Tales From the Ur-bar Facebook page (search for the title of the anthology to find the page). If you do both, you’re entered into the contest twice! The contest will end March 31st, 2011. Prizes will include copies of the contributors books (sometimes entire trilogies), After Hours: Tales From the Ur-bar M&Ms, and perhaps other prizes. They will be awarded by random drawing from those who’ve liked or friended the appropriate pages. If you’ve already friended or liked the pages, then you’re already entered into the contest! Find out more about the anthology at its website!
And now for the seventh contributor: D.B. Jackson (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davidbcoe)! David’s contribution to the anthology is the short story The Tavern Fire, which uses the Ur-bar to explain the Boston fire in 1760, not only its origins, but also how a fire that destroyed a significant portion of the city managed not to kill anyone. Here’s the official description:
"The Tavern Fire" by D.B. Jackson: In eighteenth century Boston, a desperate woman comes to the Ur-Bar seeking a love potion but brings more to the casting than she expected as her own bitterness fuels a fire that threatens to destroy the city.
David probably doesn’t remember this, but I met him at Worldcon in Baltimore ages ago during a "Meet the Pros" mixer. I was there to meet with a potential agent and, hopefully, to "accidentally" run into the editors at DAW. I quickly realized I wasn’t going to randomly run into those editors, so ended up chatting with David and a few others for an hour to so. Thanks for taking the time for a complete nobody, David! *grin* Here’s his author bio from the anthology:
D.B. Jackson also writes as David B. Coe, the Crawford Fantasy Award-winning author of the popular series The LonTobyn Chronicle, Winds of the Forelands, and Blood of the Southlands, as well as the novelization of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. The first D.B. Jackson novel, Thieftaker, will be released in 2012. It is a historical fantasy and mystery, which, like "The Tavern Fire," is set in pre-Revolutionary Boston. D.B. likes any bar that serves dark ales on tap.
We’ll be giving away The Sorcerers’ Plague and The Horsemen’s Gambit as prizes in the contest.
