Charles Stross takes a right turn from his more typical Sci-Fi fare with The Family Trade and gets pretty serious with the fantasy stuff. This is book one in The Merchant Princes series and has me hooked for more.
Miriam is the main character and learns a lot about herself the same day she is fired from her job as a journalist at a startup. She plunges down the rabbits hole into a parallel universe that is still in the Medieval Ages. As she goes deeper the hole grabs her and pulls all the way in.
On the other side she learns about her special gift for world walking and her ties into a Clan that rivals the Midici’s. Suddenly attempts on her life begin popping up everywhere and she falls back on her medical and journalist training to stay alive to make it to book two.
Have you submitted your presentation yet? This is the last week to get your name in the hat. If you have something to say in PHX this is your chance.
I just sat through a conference where the format is similar to how the Ignite presentations will be done. I can tell you now that a good Ignite presentation will not be a business presentation. It needs to be more fun than that. Open yourself up let us know what your questions are, where do you need help. What works and what doesnt. Either way get your submission in. If we dont choose you now there will be another in a few months, I can feel the momentum carrying over for sure!
