LAST AND FINAL BRAGGING RIGHTS CONTEST by TigerPatronus

[TK Kenyon]

No: HPFGUIDX 170016

Hello fellow HPers, 

The VERY LAST BRAGGING RIGHTS CONTEST will begin soon. Everybody, 
start thinking about your predictions for HPDH. 

I've been delaying the start of the contest b/c I wanted to include 
questions about "teasers" like JKR had last time, like the "lion 
guy" and chapter titles. 

So far this time, we got nuttin'. 

Therefore, I'm soliciting QUESTIONS for the compulsory section. With 
the lack of any hard data about the inside of the book, please reply 
to this post or email possible questions concerning the cover or 
things which just have to happen. 

I will solicit for Ruthless Minions at a later date. Thanks to those 
folks who have already volunteered. You're truly ruthless. 

I am insane busy until about July 20ish. The manuscript for my next 
novel must be in by then (luckily) so I'm typing like mad. Please 
forgive my silence and lack of discussion. 

Yours in Potter, 
TK Kenyon, author of *RABID: A Novel*

*STARRED REVIEW* A priest, a professor, the professor's wife, and 
his mistress--it sounds like the set-up for a dirty joke, but debut 
novelist Kenyon isn't fooling around. What begins as a riff on 
Peyton Place (salacious small-town intrigue) smoothly metamorphoses 
into a philosophical battle between science and religion. You would 
think that in attempting to deal with so many different themes-- 
shady clergy, top-secret scientific research, marital infidelity, 
lust, love, honor, faith-- Kenyon would run the risk of overwhelming 
readers. But, and this is why Kenyon is definitely an author to 
watch, she juggles all of her story's elements without dropping any 
of them--and, let's not forget, creates four very subtle and 
intriguing central characters. This is a novel quite unlike most 
standard commercial fare, a genre-bending story--part thriller, part 
literary slapdown with dialogue as the weapon of choice (think Who's 
Afraid of Virginia Woolf)-- that makes us laugh, wince, and reflect 
all at the same time. Kenyon is definitely a keeper. -- David Pitt,
