You already know Talia Ross as the gal who loves gore. But that doesn't mean she walks around with a bloody butcher knife. Well, hardly ever. No, she has a softer side. Talia has built a reputation as the library marketing director who answers her own phone, responds to her own email, and hoofs it around the country to visit libraries and conferences to talk about books, arrange author visits, and more. Visit the Macmillan Library site to learn more about Talia and what she can do for you!

Our thanks to this week's sponsor, Dark Horse Comics and their line of Indiana Jones graphic novels, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls adaptation plus two Omnibus editions of Indy comics.

I'll also point out that Dark Horse is the publisher of our friend David Malki!'s new Wondermark collection, Beards of Our Forefathers.
