I’m delighted to have my good friend and critique partner David to blog here today. David’s “Beauty and the Bastard” has just released from Liquid Silver and its about angels. And so is his post.
So, without further delay…

When Angels Visit
Thank you for inviting me, Ruth. I’m thrilled to be here sharing my happiness upon the release of Beauty and the Bastard.
I believe in angels.
There: have an Abba earworm. J You’re welcome.
Beauty and the Bastard is my first story involving angels and demons, and I’m working on a second one now. But even though I only started writing about these beautiful beings last summer, they’ve been around in my life for years. Read more…
As many of you know, Octocon is on this weekend (10th-11th October 2009) and I will be there, launching The Scroll Thief at 5.30pm on Saturday. I have some advance copies of the book and will be signing them for your delight and entertainment. I may even read (so if nothing else you can get a quick 40 winks).
I also believe I’m on a couple of panels:
Saturday, 1pm – Unnecessary Romance: Our hero has just saved the world! Now to save the girl. Shoehorning romance into action stories.
and
Sunday, 11 am – Bechdel in SF – Bechdel’s Law: 1. Does it have at least two women in it, 2. Who [at some point] talk to each other, 3. About something besides a man. Our panelists discuss the merits of this law in SF.
Still have to formulate some more thoughts on these (besides “omgomgbooklaunchomg”)
If you’re going to be around, come and join in. If you’re going to be around at about 5.30om PLEASE come and join in. 
I’m very excited to announce that there will be a book launch for the print edition of The Scroll Thief at Octocon, the National Irish Science Fiction Convention, this coming weekend. The convention runs from 10th to the 11th of October, and I’m scheduled for 5.30pm on the Saturday. If you’re there, come and say hello! I’ll have copies of the book for sale and a pale and terrified look on my face.
