Author Introduction: Juliet E. McKenna
Feb. 14th, 2011 07:15 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 tenth contributor: Juliet E. McKenna! Juliet’s contribution to the anthology is the short story The Grand Tour, where the Ur-bar becomes a refuge for two young men who are experiencing the best--and wors--of the world before heading off to university. Here’s the official description:
"The Grand Tour" by Juliet McKenna: In the years before the Great War, two young travelers find themselves stranded in an Austrian village, where they encounter both hatred and kindness . . . and a lesson that will change the course of their lives forever.
Juliet and I met while at Boskone, when we were both scheduled for a dual kaffeeklatsch that none of the fans signed up for. We ended up talking about cover art, comparing our own and some of Juliet’s upcoming covers, writing, and general writely chat. I’d already read her first series and hadn’t realized that another had already been started. Here’s her author bio from the anthology:
Juliet E. McKenna has always been fascinated by myth and history, other worlds and other peoples. After studying classical history and literature at St Hilda’s, Oxford, she worked in personnel management before a career change to combine book-selling and motherhood. Her first novel The Thief’s Gamble was published in 1999. That series, the Tales of Einarinn, was followed by The Aldabreshin Compass sequence and her current trilogy, The Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution. Living in the Cotswolds of England she is lucky enough to have the Wychwood Brewery within easy reach, home of Hobgoblin and Wychcraft beers.
We’ll be giving away the entire Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution as a prize in the contest.
