We have a date on September 6^th and I am so excited!

As I write this note, I’m wearing pajamas and Sesame Street is playing in the background.  Ah, the glamour.  But honestly, I don’t mind the more scruffy aspects of the writing life.  I love to disappear into the wild country of my stories and fall in love with the inhabitants, all the while never leaving my writing desk.

But my ability to time travel while sitting still isn’t the most potent writing magic.  It’s the connection between the writer and the reader.  As a writer, I capture the treasure of the story from these wild territories of the mind, and I share these adventures with you.  If I’ve done my job right, writing is the telepathy Stephen King talks about in his memoir, ON WRITING – the continuous dream passes from my mind directly to your heart, through the words on the page, or on the screen.

One of the most thrilling parts of being a writer is closing the circle and meeting the people who share the dream with you – the readers.  After all, I am also a reader too.  It’s a rare pleasure for this Sesame Street-serenaded writer to get all dressed up, head out to New York City, and haunt the night with other people who are passionate about books.

If you can’t make it to the Madame X lounge, please visit me on the web at www.michelelang.com to learn more about the world of LADY LAZARUS and my other stories.

But if you can make it the night of September 6^th, you bring the passion for discovering new places and characters, and I’ll bring my latest book, LADY LAZARUS.  We’ll have a little drink in a well-lighted place, and together, we’ll celebrate the awesomeness of story magic.  See you there!

Bio: Michele Lang writes supernatural tales: the stories of witches, lawyers, goddesses, bankers, demons, and other magical creatures hidden in plain sight.

Her speculative romance NETHERWOOD released from Dorchester/Shomi in 2008, and she is the author of the historical fantasy LADY LAZARUS, releasing September 2010 from Tor Books.

LADY LAZARUS tells the story of Magda Lazarus, a witch with the power to summon souls and a sister who can foretell the future.  Set on the eve of World War II in a magical Budapest, Magda must do battle with SS Werewolves, wizards, and demons, including the one that has possessed a willing Adolf Hitler…

Jim Butcher says: “An absolutely unique protagonist in an engaging tale set against the backdrop of the greatest clash of good and evil in human history.  What’s not to love about LADY LAZARUS?”
