GENERAL EVENTS
Alma Alexander, SPELLSPAM, (Harper, Hardcover, $17.99), Saturday, November 15th at 3:00 pm -
From the author's site: "What do you get when ordinary e-mail spam
becomes infused with magic? Spellspam—and it’s not supposed to exist.
As far as Thea Winthrop and her friends know, computers are completely
magically inert, making them ideal vehicles for storing magic spells,
not casting them. But all that seems to have changed as students at
Wandless Academy find themselves the victim of practical jokes—with
magical consequences—simply by opening an e-mail.
Now the spellspams are getting worse, and it’s possible there’s someone
behind them who is not just bent on stirring up trouble but has a much
scarier and more far-reaching agenda. Until now, Thea herself has been
the only person she’s even heard of who can reach through the computer
using magic. But Thea's match is out there, and even her friends can’t
help her track down the source of the spellspam before it gets much,
much worse.
This sequel to GIFT OF THE UNMAGE ups the ante on a fantasy world that
is rich and nuanced, like our own, but with a core of wildly original
magic." Meet the popular author of THE SECRETS OF JEN-SHEI at
Borderlands!
Ellen Klages and Geoff Ryman are guests of SF in SF at the
Variety Preview Room in the Hobart Building, 582 Market Street,
Saturday, November 15th at 7:00 pm - We are very excited to
help SF in SF welcome these distinguished guests, one from right in the
neighborhood, and one from over the ocean! Each author will read a
selection from their work, followed by Q&A from the audience
moderated by author Terry Bisson. Authors will schmooze & sign
books after in the lounge. Books available for sale courtesy of
Borderlands Books. Seating is limited, so first come, first seated.
Bar proceeds benefit Variety Childrens Charity - learn more at <http://www.varietync.org/>.
We REALLY encourage you to take BART into the City, or use MUNI to get
here - parking can be problematic in San Francisco, to say the least.
We are less than one block away from the Montgomery St. station. Trust
us - you don't want to be looking for parking and be late for the
event! Phone (night of event) 415-572-1015. Questions? Email
sfinsfevents@gmail.com.
Borderlands Books 11th Anniversary Sale, Sunday, November 16th from 12:00 - 8:00 pm (changed from November 9th) -
Celebrate 11 years of Borderlands with us! We only have two sales a
year, and this is the big one: buy any two used books and get a third
one of equal or lesser value for free. Collectable books are not
included in this deal, but they will be 10% off all day long, and
finally, everything else in the store will be 20% off (artwork,
employees, and cats excluded, sorry)! The sale will only run for one
day, and this sale only happens once a year, so mark your calendars for
Sunday, November 16th. THANK YOU all for your support.
Borderlands event policy - all events are free of charge. You are welcome
to bring copies of an author's books purchased elsewhere to be autographed
(but we do appreciate it if you purchase something while at the event).
For most events you are welcome to bring as many books as you wish for autographs.
If you are unable to attend the event we will be happy to have a copy of
any of the author's available books signed or inscribed for you. We
can then either hold it until you can come in to pick it up or we can ship
it to you. Just give us a call or drop us an email. If you live
out of town, you can also ship us books from your collection to be signed.
Call or email for details.
