How’s Business?By Don Blyly

Business has been terrible,thanks to the weather. Business was upfor nine of the first ten months of 2010.Business was up nicely for the first weekof November. Then winter hit hard.Saturday is usually by far our best day ofthe week. Of the eight Saturdays leadingup to Christmas, three Saturdays wewere forecast to have heavy snow (andoften the forecast is more important thanhow much snow we really receive) andthree Saturdays we had ice storms. Thetwo Saturdays with good weather, saleswere way up, but not enough to make upfor the other six Saturdays. For that eightweek period, our sales were down morethan $10,000 from the same period theyear before. The Saturday of the bigblizzard, Uncle Hugo’s saw twocustomers and $25 in sales, while UncleEdgar’s didn’t see a single customer. Ofthe four staff people on duty, I was theonly one who had driven to work, so anhour after the bus system for the metroarea was shut down, the four of us dugout my car and I gave everybody elserides to their homes before I startedtrying to dig my way into my driveway athome.

While the weather was lesshostile (though very cold) in January, thecity did such a bad job of plowing thestreets that many people are hesitant topark at the meters, and the piles of snowhas wiped out half the dentist’s parkinglot, so business has continued to suffer.

People have been waiting foryears for the sequel to the wonderful and

award-winning fantasy The Name of the

Wind ($8.99) by Patrick Rothfuss. The

Wise Man’s Fear ($29.95) is finallycoming in early March (and received astarred review in Publishers Weekly).The publisher contacted us on October15 to suggest a date for Patrick to sign atUncle Hugo’s. I told them that we couldhave the signing on that date andsuggested a time, but also suggested thata weekend signing would draw morepeople than a Thursday signing. I neverheard back from the publisher. InJanuary, with 100 copies of thehardcover on order for the Thursdaysigning, I tried to find out from thepublisher what was going on, and stillreceived no response. So I e-mailed toPatrick to see if he knew what was goingon. He e-mailed back that the publisherhad dropped Uncle Hugo’s from thetour, but that he’d try to find time todrive over for a signing after he wasdone with the publisher’s tour. We don’tyet have a date set – watch the websitefor updated information.

Most paranormalromances, gaming tie-in novels, actionadventure series titles, kids and youngadult novels, and true crime titles wereeliminated and many book descriptionswere shortened for the paper newsletter,but full information is at our website.

Hard Magic ($25.00 hardcoveror $15.00 trade paperback, officiallyearly May, but Larry will be signing atUncle Hugo’s on Saturday, April 30) isthe first of a new series, the GrimnoirChronicles. Classifying it is pretty hard,b u t L a r r y r e f e r s t o i t a s“noir/pulp/alternative-history/fantasy/action with blimp fighting, hard boileddetectives, demons, teleporting magicninjas, Cossack fighting bears, samurai,Tesla super weapons, John M .Browning, Teutonic zombies, andprofane squirrels.”

The story is set in 1932, in aworld where about 1% of the populationhas the ability to work magic to somedegree (though perhaps no more thanbeing able to light a cigarette without amatch) and about 1/10 of the magic users(Actives) have significant power. JakeSullivan is an Active who was part of aspecial team of Actives who helped winthe World War against the Kaiser’s armyof zombies, but he later ended up inprison for protecting a young blackmagic-user from an angry white mob.To get out of prison, he agrees to help J.Edgar Hoover catch magical murderers;when Hoover lies to him too much,Sullivan goes on the run. Meanwhile,the most powerful magic user in theworld (the Chairman) is in charge ofJapan’s war effort (including battleshipdirigibles), and Sullivan is recruited tojoin a secret society (led by GeneralBlack Jack Pershing) that is convincedthe Japanese will soon attack the U.S.with a magical weapon developed by

Nikola Tesla. Hard Magic isn’t quite asstrong on humor as the Monster Hunterseries, but is at least as action-packed.Larry manages to work in all those plotelements he listed above, and makes itwork. It’s very hard to put down.

I’ve enjoyed everything I’veread by Elizabeth Bear, but I recently

made the mistake of picking up Chill($7.99) without realizing that it was themiddle book of a trilogy. I was soon socaught up in the story of a generationship filled with nano technology that Icouldn’t force myself to put it down long

enough to read Dust ($7.99), the first of

the series. By the time I finished Chill,

we had run out of Dust and I’mimpatiently waiting for our restock orderto arrive. The good news is that the final

book of the trilogy, Grail ($7.99) will bearriving late in February.
