Joe Abercrombie, author of Last Argument of Kings.Joe Abercrombie can weave a tale and people are starting to take notice. His first novel, The Blade Itself, just recently released in the United States, is the best selling novel in Pyr, his publisher’s, catalog and, as Joe himself would be the first to admit, it damn well deserves it.

I’ve brought Joe back for round two (the first interview can be found HERE) and he proved no less witty, no less charming, and no less arrogant than the first time around. So, in other words, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! I’m currently reading the third (and final) volume of The First Law Trilogy, so be on the lookout for a review soon, but in the meantime grab a bowl of popcorn and listen to what Joe has to say.

Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods, Coraline, Stardust (all of which are incredible novels), has decided to honor his blogs’ 7th “birthday” (and an astounding 1,071,213 words!) by giving away a digital version of his novel for free.

The coolest part? We get to pick which one! Just head on over to his blog, take a look at the options and choose one! Pretty neat of Gaiman (and his publisher, Harper Collins) to do something like this for his fans!

Also, for those of you who haven’t checked Gaiman out, this is your chance to discover one of the best authors in the game. The breadth of his work (Fairy Tales, Contemporary Fantasy, Children’s Fantasy, Humourous Fantasy, etc…) is astounding and there’s surely something for everyone!

Also, check out the free audio story he’s giving away as well!
