I was delighted to find out this week that Emma Bull is writing a sequel to Territory (you might recall I was pretty excited about that one), tentatively titled Claim.
Of course, in the interim, I can always get a hit of Shadow Unit. (I think I might have mentioned that once or twice, possibly.)
I have [...]
Have you seen the Telectroscope?
Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed. An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right through [...]
So, Jeff VanderMeer, author of many things (including frightfully good stories about mushroom people) linked to my post below about pseudonyms.
He’s gone with the “rather laugh than cry” route and has introduced a new Internet meme for book nerds:

I follow this link and make a note to come back later and look for poets I am not familiar with.

Nice to see that former local (and HGPA-member) Brian O’Malley’s movie deal is actually happening–at least leads are being [...]
I see Collen Doran has made a couple of posts recently about some pieces of her art that I now own.
Not only do I get to brag about owning the pieces, I think this formally connects me to the Swordspoint universe in some nebulous way.
Well, I’ve had a very busy weekend here in Melbourne–which I may get around to writing up at some point later tonight–and now I’ve made it back to my hotel/apartment, and it seems like a good time for me to do a little bit of value-added linkblogging. So, no theme, just lots of things that [...]
