The ARC thing generated a lot more commentary than I expected. o.O For the record, it’s really not that I care about losing a sale–I think most people who buy ARCs probably also buy the final version of the book. I’m genuinely pleased that people are interested enough in the books to buy ARCs, and as I said to someone in comments, it’s not at all that I object to people buying them. I object to people *selling* them. I realize that this is a double-edged sword, but there you…

Coyote ARC on ebay
An ARC of COYOTE DREAMS is up for sale on eBay. I inevitably find myself torn on what to do about this. Really what I want to do is contact the seller and explain in small words that what they’re doing is illegal, as should be obvious by the words NOT FOR SALE emblazoned across the book’s cover, but that I’m willing to overlook it so long as they provide me with a reciept stating they’ve donated the amount of money they sell the book for, including shipping and handling,…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
At PCon last weekend, , by way of a pamphlet she had from , recommended THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, by Scott Lynch, to me. Ted had conveniently purchased it recently, so I read it over the last couple days, and it is in fact very good. I should’ve kept one of the pamphlets, to see what else they recommended!

A bluebird just landed on his shoulder!
After 500 words and a lot of increasing sullenness, I told Ted I really needed to get out of the house and do ANYTHING, even go to a movie neither of us much wanted to see. However, before we actually got that far, I realized the real problem was that the house was disgusting and filthy and that I didn’t want out of the house, I wanted a CLEAN HOUSE. The downstairs is now sparkly. The upstairs wasn’t so bad to begin with, so all is well. After all that…
