Author Introduction: Jackie Kessler
Feb. 23rd, 2011 10:23 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 fourteenth contributor: Jackie Kessler! Jackie’s contribution to the anthology is the short story Where We Are Is Hell, which integrates the Ur-bar with her Hell series of books. A ghost is stumbling through a place with only doors that don’t open, her memories lost. But then, one of the doors opens unexpectedly and she stumbled into the Ur-bar. Here’s the official description:
"Where We Are Is Hell" by Jackie Kessler: Condemned to purgatory--a hallway full of closed doors--a young woman’s ghost stumbles into the Ur-Bar where she finds the courage to open one final door . . . and face her own Judgment.
I must have met Jackie at Albacon. I can’t imagine anything else. (She’s the Guest of Honor for Albacon--the one in Albany, NY--this coming October, by the way.) At one of my readings/signings, she was the only one to show up. She was already my friend, but I think that alone pushed it into the “lifelong” category. Here’s her author bio from the anthology:
Jackie Kessler writes about demons, angels, the hapless humans caught between them, superheroes, the supervillains who love to pound those heroes into pudding, vampires, ghosts, and the occasional Horseman of the Apocalypse. Her favorite drinks include a semi-dry Riesling and, when at conventions, rum and Diet Coke. When beer is the thing, her favorite bar is the Peculier Pub on Bleeker Street in New York City. For wine, it’s got to be The Wine Bar in Saratoga Springs, NY. For more about Jackie, visit her website: www.jackiekessler.com.
We’ll be giving away her Hell trilogy as prizes in the contest.
