Adventures in France
As Rebecca and I have mentioned, I’ll be spending the next couple of weeks in France with Dani and little Cassie. I was only in France once before, for less than a full day, and am eager to return and have a more relaxed look around. My high school level French, unpracticed for 20 years, will not serve me well, but Dani speaks a little, and Cassie, being so young, will probably pick it up in no time. I will also get her a beret.
In addition to a few days in Paris on either end of the trip, I will be attending the Imaginales convention in Epinal from May 26-29. Other big fantasy names in attendance will be Brandon Sanderson, Trudi Canavan, and NK Jemisin. If you are able to attend, you can find the full program online here. This makes me feel better for missing both the Nebula awards and Balticon, both of which occur while I am away.
French readers, come and say “Bonjour!”
But that’s not all! While I am in France, Bragelonne will also be launching my new limited edition collection of short stories, L’Or de Brayan (which combines the translated Great Bazaar and Brayan’s Gold) in a BEAUTIFUL volume. The winners of the French Contest will be receiving free copies, and I will probably hold a more general contest (Fan Art or Cosplay) soon, putting some copies, along with other great prizes into the pot.
It’s so cool that you come to Europe!!!!
I’m thinking of dropping in maybe on Frieday or Saturday or Sunday, but I’ll have to persuade my mum to drive me there … an I’ve just come back from London … and it’s a drive of several hours from Germany to France…
anyhow: If I’m there I will give you the new composed music in person!!!!
L’Imaginales c’est fantastique!!! 😉
So much for my school french…
It was truely fantastic and a great experience. I’m glad I made the long journey, it was definitely worth it!!! 😀
It was so wonderful to meet you!
