Join Borderlands Books to meet author and editor Jenn Brozek, and also local favorite Seanan McGuire, who wrote the introduction to Brozek's collection of 105 vignettes! From the author: "One of my favorite things about my In a Gilded Light vignettes is the way I kill (curse, torture, etc) my friends in them. I only murder (in text) those I love. With permission, of course. I hated the thought of a perfect vignette about killing a friend making that friend mad at me. Worse still, having someone think I was serious. After a short while, some of my friends asked, "When do I get killed? You can do what you want, just don't use spiders." Or, more intriguing still, "When do I get to be the murderer? I don't want to be killed but you can use me as the murderer." This opened up a whole new set of inspiration. Each one of these vignettes is a little piece of me. To paraphrase a movie quote, "I see story ideas - all the time. They're everywhere. Just walking around like normal ideas. They don't know they're stories." I wrote these vignettes over a two-and-a-half year period with varying degrees of inspiration. This compilation is perfect for people who have only a little time to read at one time. It is ideal for commuting, as a coffee table book or a book to leave in the bathroom. Each vignette takes minutes to read while giving the reader a story to think about for the rest of the day. Dig in and sample my imagination. These are the things I think about every day. This vignette collection is a little part of me and I really enjoyed writing them. I hope you enjoy reading them."
