Con or Bust!

Con or Bust auctions are live!

I have two items in the auction (and believe me, there are pages and pages and pages of COMPLETELY AWESOME SHIT):

1. the absolute last copy of the Kyle Murchison Booth chapbook Unnatural Creatures

2. a copy of The Goblin Emperor, just as soon as my author copies come

Also, just in general, Con or Bust is an excellent endeavor. Even if you can't bid, please spread the word!

Mirkwood by Tiffany

Same window.





The pictures aren't as good, for which I apologize, but it's hard to be Ansel Adams with a cellphone when you're supposed to be getting ready for work. But you CAN see that we have the more traditional feathery frost farther up the window. And Mirkwood all along the bottom.

My complete disorganization, I shows you it

So anyway, in my THIRD POST TODAY:

1. Publishers Weekly reviews The Goblin Emperor

2. Goodreads & Tor are apparently conducting a sweepstakes for The Goblin Emperor, which I know about because I know how to use Google.

3. My beloved friends Lynne and Michael's daughter Caitlin has Aicardi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes all sorts of problems, including potentially life-threatening scoliosis (spine gets too far out of whack, lungs can't work properly). Caitlin just had surgery on her spine, in which she nearly died, and one of her Aicardi sisters, Annie, is now fighting one of the worst possible outcomes this surgery can have. Please keep both Caitlin and Annie, and their parents, in your thoughts.

4. I have started watching The Magnificent Seven TV series on Hulu. I will probably make a post about it when I've finished, but for now I will just say that every single episode I have watched would be improved by MOAR EZRA.

5. Via @UrsulaV, a picture of baby Eastern Screech Owls and from @EmergencyKittens this really quite remarkable Persian in midair plus some kittens. (Because when in doubt, add pictures of (a) baby animals, (b) cats, (c) both.)
