PBG Newsletter: Naomi Novik, Tomorrow at 7 PM!

[Auspex]

Hello readers! This week's newsletter is going to be short and sweet!

Pandemonium is pleased to host Naomi Novik at 7:00 PM TOMORROW (July 17th) in celebration of her newest novel, Tongues of Serpents.

Naomi Novik is an American novelist from New York. She studied English Literature at Brown University and Computer Science at Colombia University. She also participated in the design and development of the Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of the Undertide.

Naomi is also one of the founding board members of the Organization for Transformative Works, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the rights of fan creators, as she is also a fanfic writer and fan vidder.

Her Temeraire series is set during an alternate history version of the Napoleonic Wars, in which dragons not only exist but are used as a staple of aerial warfare in Asia and Europe. The dragons of the story are portrayed as sentient and intelligent, capable of logical thought and human speech. The series centres primarily on events involving Temeraire (the titular dragon) and his handler, Will Laurence.

In the latest installation, Laurence and Temeraire (exiled to Australia) must navigate treacherous political waters to protect three dragon eggs.

Her website is http://www.temeraire.org/.

We look forward to seeing you there!
