Bits and pieces to kill some links.

seanan_mcguireHey, look! I'm in an anthology! River, from Dark Quest Books, edited by Alma Alexander. It's a book of stories about, well. A river. My story, "Lady of the Waters," is about a ship called The Jackdaw, her centaur captain (no, really), her faintly annoyed crew, and some giant catfish. I quite like it.
Oh, and hey, the audio books of all the Toby Daye adventures are still available at Audible.com, including Late Eclipses and One Salt Sea, which periodically appear as customer favorites. I find this awesome, and you should totally check it out if you haven't already listed to the fabulous audio narration. Or even if you have. I'm not picky.
SCIENCE CHEERLEADERS. It's like a beautiful dream. With pom-poms. There was no earthly way not to share.
...and because that last link may have restored your faith in humanity, here are some insanely depressing "rules for girls" collected from Twitter. The next time someone asks you why I keep threatening to ignite the biosphere, this is why. We can't have nice things until we've burned out all the stupid.
The title of this article right here is "How Amazon Kills Books and Makes Us Stupid." Again, destroying faith in humanity through the aid of my link file. You're welcome.
So it's a mixed bag today, but it includes SCIENCE CHEERLEADERS and CENTAUR SHIP CAPTAINS, so I'm going to call it overall a positive. Your mileage may vary.

Date: 2012-02-10 01:40 am (UTC)The Twitter post boggled me--not because many of the Tweets were virtually incomprehensible (due to the character limit, I expect that) or because of the content (because this is the sixth time in eight days that I've been confronted with a great big steaming pile of sexism or rape culture in print), but because none of the people commenting seemed remotely INTERESTED in the content of the Tweets. They all started arguing about grammar and whether it was privileged to expect people to write in Standard English, because that's much more important than the whole point of the article.
