GIVEAWAY: Virtual Ticket to the Deborah Harkness Fan Con/AllSoulsCon September 12th, 2015


Jax is a big fan of  the All Souls Trilogy, which I have yet to read, so when I received an email about a convention for the books, I thought I'd share.

AllSoulsCon is a fan-run one-day convention celebrating THE ALL SOULS TRILOGY, taking place September 12th in Los Angeles, CA, USA but available to fans all over the world via livestream (ain't technology grand?). Author Deborah Harkness is attending, as is audiobook narrator Jennifer Ikeda, and it’s going to be an outstanding opportunity to meet them and fellow fans, enjoy AST-inspired food, wine, contests, and a lot more! You can see the schedule here, but highlights include:

Blurb from goodreads:

After traveling through time in Shadow of Night, the second book in Deborah Harkness’s enchanting series, historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont return to the present to face new crises and old enemies. At Matthew’s ancestral home at Sept-Tours, they reunite with the cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches--with one significant exception. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. In the trilogy’s final volume, Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. In ancestral homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to the palaces of Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago.
