Books I'm giving as holiday gifts this season

PNBA (the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association) asked me to share a list of books I'm giving as holiday gifts.  My first reaction was, but doesn't that ruin the surprise?  Then I thought, oh what the hell, I'll do it.  So if you are my cousin Cecily, my aunt Colleen, my aunt Patricia, my uncle Phil or my step mother Susan, do not read this post until after Christmas.  As for everyone else, I realize that you are probably excellent people, and have completed all of your holiday shopping, in which case this list is pretty much useless to you.  Though, hey, Ground Hog Day is coming up.  And books are the traditional Ground Hog Day gift, no?  At least that's how we do it in my family.  Click on the link below to see the books I'm planning on gifting.

The Night Season is in paperback

The Night Season is just out in paperback, and makes a lovely stocking stuffer.  Wrap it in gauze and slip a scalpal under the bow.  It makes a thoughtful holiday gift.  Best read in front of the fire with a glass of brandy.  Vicodin optional.
