Trilogy!

Actually I feel like that was the name of a club back when I lived in Cleveland. Trilogy. Or was that Columbus?

Anyhow, yesterday in my mailbox I had lots of goodies. The first was the long awaited third in Meghan Brunner’s Pendragon Trilogy. Yay! That’s not Pendragon as in Uther– well it kind of is, actually, but Pendragon Renaissance Faire in Minnesota. I think I discussed before how these books show a kind of mastery of the whole indie, do-it-yourself ideal and how The Gods of Writing intended it to be used– knowing your niche, finding it, and then spreading the appeal well outside of it. Totally not qualified to give any kind of review of this last one, since I was kind of involved in editing it up, but– well, crazy fae, not-so-imaginary friends, road rennies, past lives, girl love, and many other things that sparkle (but not in a vampire in the sunlight way. Oh dear god, no). Shiny books by people I know! Yay!

See– looks so pretty on my shelf:

So does Travelin’ Cthulhu. Lookin’ good, buddy.

But man, nothing like a complete set to satisfy my weird ass categorizing urges, really. (At least until she starts the next ones, set at Desert Sun Faire. Then I’m screwed again.) And as a kind of side note, if you’re into SCA or Fest stuff, Megh’s site is also a great resource for crafters, pictures, performers, faire/events listings and the like. Maybe you could find something in your area. I mean, I know my year feels incomplete without at least one joust.

I also got copies of Grants Pass for my family– plus one mysterious extra. I smell a Halloween contest cooking… (If you already bought GP, no worries. There are other tricks– or treats, yeah treats!– to be had.)
