Roc/Ace at Comic Con this Weekend!

(View entire post here)

Ace and Roc editors will be hanging out at Penguin Group's booth at this year's New York Comic-Con, which is happening this very weekend (April 18-20). For all of you planning to attend the convention, be sure to come and visit our booth-which, after consultation with Ace's resident astrologists and Roc's resident numerologists, has been assigned the lucky number 1941.

Some of your favorite Ace and Roc authors will also be in attendance, signing... FREE books! Who said there's no such thing as a free book in this town?

New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher will be at our booth signing FREE copies of Furies of Calderon (while supplies last) on Saturday at 3:30. Furies of Calderon is the first in Jim's stirring Codex Alera epic fantasy series.

And debut author Anton Strout will be signing FREE copies of his urban fantasy Dead To Me on Friday at 6pm. Dead To Me stars Simon Canderous, an ex-thief with the power of psychometry who's given up his life of crime to work for New York City's (mostly) secret Department of Extraordinary Affairs.

New York Comic Con is the East Coast's biggest popular culture convention, and you'll be able to check out the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, books, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies, and television. You can learn more about it by visiting www.nycomiccon.com. Last year's New York Comic Con drew more than 50,000 attendees, and this year an even bigger crowd is expected. Including some seriously cool guests. This year, in addition to Ace editor Anne Sowards (who is the celebrity I will be lining up to see, naturellement), you can come face to face with Jim Butcher, Anton Strout, Orson Scott Card, Neil Gaiman, Eva Mendes, Stan Lee, Frank Miller, Grace Park, and many more celebrities sure to make geeks like us everywhere have palpitations.

In addition to the (did I mention FREE) books, we'll have more giveaways every day, so come visit us early and often. Hope to see you there, and if you mention the Penguin Blog you'll get... a bemused smile from someone or other, we promise!
