Location: Neither here...nor there		Thanks Admin. I was very pleased at how much I enjoyed the books I selected for the challenge.

My random author was Kelley Eskridge (and, yes, she was one of my 5 Star reads!). I was thinking about reading Nicola Griffith because she's an author I've meant to read for quite awhile, and when I was researching her/her books I discovered that her partner, Eskridge, had also written a book. I was surprised to learn that her novel (Solitaire) was nominated for the 2002 Nebula alongside some big names like Neil Gaiman, Ursula K. LeGuin, and China Mieville. How, I wondered, could that be possible when I'd never heard of her or the book (and it doesn't seem most other people have either)? So, I bought a copy of Solitaire and *bam* .....awesomeness.
