“Enochian was the wail of dying stars, the whisper of galaxies winging through the void, the gurgle of primordial oceans, the crackle of a cooling planet,
the thunder of creation. And beneath it all , a simmering undercurrent of malevolence.”

“A writer who is afraid to overreach himself is as useless as a general who is afraid to be wrong.”
― Pearls are a Nuisance

“Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all of the tricks and has nothing to say.”

Wow. That is lovely. Did he also happen do a no longer usable cover for Necessary Evil?
Not that I would ever make an alternate skin for my own copy so they looked like a matches set. Not when the largest version I can find is 640x570.

also also: that cover is awesome and that blog is just so rich with irony. this cover won't sell book a, so let's build book b around it.
marketing!

Both of you, stop trolling me with your polite requests for over-the-telephone art.

JJP! i hope you tell him how amazingly awesome his cover for your book was. i mean, photo models with sci-fi crap affixed to their heads are fine too, but i likely wouldn't have read bitter seeds without that cover, because i am contrary to the will of the mass market like that.
if you have a minute, you can also ask him to draw me a dragon if you want.

Nah. I wish. (Although speaking of which, therein lies a tale.) He's super busy, but we're trying to find a time to chat. About you, naturally.

I'm saving that for the followup.... when we talk ON THE PHONE.

Very fascinating indeed! I still have a lot to learn about the minefield known as social networking (which is why I've mostly avoided it until now).

Knock yourself out! You'll notice that I didn't attribute it to the original source; I think I heard it from some guy on the internet.
Very interesting discussion on your review today. I've found it very educational. I'm really glad I have the opportunity to listen in.

How come you've only mentioned this now? Because I have, like, all of their CDs in my car. This is me feeling betrayed.
Funny thing about squirrels: total Star Trek fans. They wore uniforms and said their vows in Klingon.

Actually, it does look kinda fun. All you need to do is convince Abney Park to play a gig there, and we'll talk. Meanwhile, I'll be watching the squirrels from my office window. They're married.

Greeeeat. Yeah, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and take care of Steampunk Expo all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Not half days, m'kay? I have a meeting with the Bobs in a few minutes.

I'm not particularly savvy when it comes to social networking, so you'd be amazed at all the stuff I miss :-)
But anyway, yes! I am going to be in Mpls the weekend of November 12-14. Most of the weekend is already booked up, unfortunately, since it's a short trip. I'm doing another signing at Uncle Hugo's (a signing of opportunity, since I'll be nearby), though I expect turnout to be smaller, since I've already foisted my book on just about everyone I know :-)

Also, you're going to be back in town so soon? I'm so bad with the whole "keep in touch" thing. In any case, I've put it on my calendar. It'd be great to see you again!

I'm excited! (As long as I don't have to suffer your foolishness, and explain tautologies as though they were hieratic truths.)
Melinda and I are signing at Uncle Hugo's on Saturday the 13th. Since that's close to you guys, can we swing by for a visit either before (pre 1pm) or after (post 2pm)?
Come to think of it, I ought to contact my zombie webmaster about getting that event on my website.
VirJon reminds me of somebody else I know who has OPD.

Also, you rock the Casbah. I hope you got back to NM okay."
I'm afraid to go to my author page. But if I did go there, how would I do that thing you said? Also, how can I get GR to stop listing me (sometimes) as the author of one of GRRM's books?
You guys are the rockingest hosts who ever rocked anything. Sorry I messed up your floor-scrubbing plans. And for not knowing when to S my WM. Thanks for all of your kindness (and for sitting through not one but 2 signings).

Thanks, dude. I really appreciate the kindness and support. From what I know, the book is probably at Barnes and Noble but not Borders. (I'm headed over to Borders later to find out...) Let me know where you do and don't find it!
BTW, I accidentally hit "yes" instead of "more" on your shill^H^H^H^H^H review of Bitter Seeds. I honestly wasn't trying to be a sock puppet. I feel badly about that.

It's been a couple of years since I've experienced some good, home-town awesomeness. So, you know, no pressure or anything. Just sayin'. What with how long I've been gone and all. Some awesomeness would be, you know, awesome. Is what I'm saying.
