The Solaris Book of New Fantasy edited by George MannGrander than the Sea
by T.A. Pratt


T.A. Pratt’s offering in The Solaris Book of New Fantasy is a charming, sarcastic romp of an Urban Fantasy. Chief sorcerer of the city of Felport, Marla Mason, and her partner Rondeau take an interesting and humourous approach to overcoming a loony, fatalistic sorcerer’s attempt to resurrect a non-existent God of the Sea who’s hellbent on destroying the world.

If you ask me, A Dribble of Ink is a mighty fine blog. But, as you may have noticed, I’m not the only blogger out there. In fact, I’m not even the only great blogger out there!

I know. I know. It’s hard to beleive, but it’s true.

In fact, I went ahead and gathered several of my favourites, tied them up in a room, and picked their brains. Us bloggers spend so much time putting the minds of authors under the knife and I thought it would be interesting to take a look at another side of the industry that doesn’t get examined. It also gives you (and me) a good chance to get to know some of these great bloggers just a little better.

Ever wondered what makes your favourite blogger tick? Well, you’re about to find out.

The bloggers taking part are: Chris, the Book Swede, Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review, The Fantasy Review, Neth Space, Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, Rob’s Blog o’ Stuff, SciFiChick, Fantasy Book Critic and La Gringa from The Swivet. I tried to put together a nice, broad demographic of rookie and veteran blogs. They didn’t disappoint.

Being blogger, they like to talk… a lot. To that effect, I’ve split the interview up into two parts, the second of which will be published sometime in the next couple of days.

Break out the popcorn, set aside some time and enjoy!

Have you heard of Miss Snark? If not, you should check it out sooner rather than later.

Miss Snark – a pseudonym for a mysterious, high ranking agent – ran a terrific blog for over three years where she gave us a cynical, sarcastic, but ultimately honest inside look at the publishing industry. She answered countless questions from her readers and in the process created an intelligent, funny and useful well of knowledge for anyone interested in the publishing industry.

It might seem odd for a little blog like A Dribble of Ink to be promoting a blog that:

  • Had a huge readership, far beyond that of this blog
  • Is no longer being updated.

But one look at the site will show you just how terrific a resource it is. Go back through and read the wealth of information provided by Miss Snark. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!
