pbrayWell, Colonie to be precise. Maria Perry at Flights of Fantasy bookstore in Colonie, New York has offered to host a booklaunch party for THE FINAL SACRIFICE. Look for me there Tuesday evening, June 24th. I'll be reading from TFS and signing books. Partner-in-crime ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jennifer_dunne will also be there signing her books, so it's two authors for the price of one.
And thanks tofireun I have a copy of the Romantic Times book review for The Final Sacrifice. This is the final installment of Bray's trilogy, but it doesn't read like a third book. Backstory is woven in quite cleverly, and the pace is fast enough that readers new to the tale won't have time to regret missing references. Fans of Emperor Lucius, Brother Josan and Lady Ysobel are sure to be more than satisfied with this last chapter.
I'm really happy with this review. One of my goals was to make sure that TFS could be read as a standalone novel, and so far both PW and RT agree that I've succeeded.
One of my father's favorite things to sing was a verse from an off-Broadway musical that went:
I believe the musical was called Tuscaloosa's Calling Me But I'm Not Going. My father, the veteran of far too many business trips to Albany to visit his customer GE, found this verse particularly descriptive of Albany in the 1970s. Much has changed in Albany since then, but whenever I hear the word Albany, I still feel the urge to break into song.

And then there's Albany, exciting Albany.
What a great place to have yourself a ball.
After nine o'clock, you're in culture shock,
How long can you stare at the God damn wall?
