Author Introduction: Ian Tregillis
As 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 twelfth contributor: Ian Tregillis! Ian’s contribution to the anthology is the short story Steady Hands and a Heart of Oak, which has the characters hiding out in the Ur-bar during World War II during the Blitz. The main character is a sapper--someone sent in to diffuse unexploded bombs--but he has more serious problems than bombs in this story. Here’s the official description:
"Steady Hands and a Heart of Oak" by Ian Tregillis: In World War II’s London, a young sapper with the Sight finds redemption and glory in the heart of an unexploded bomb.
I was introduced to Ian by S.C. Butler at a convention (Boskone?), I believe when a group of us were all getting ready to head to dinner. All three of us had been members of an online writing workshop (Sam had actually critiqued some of Ian’s work), so we instantly bonded over that. And imagine that! All three of us are now published. *grin* Here’s his author bio from the anthology:
Ian Tregillis is the son of a bearded mountebank and a discredited tarot card reader. He is the author of Bitter Seeds, The Coldest War (October, 2011), and Necessary Evil (2012). He received a doctorate in physics from the University of Minnesota, but now lives in New Mexico, where he consorts with writers, scientists, and other unsavory types. His favorite holiday drink comes from a one hundred fifty-year old recipe for eggnog. www.iantregillis.com
We’ll be giving away the hardcover of Bitter Seeds as a prize in the contest.
