This week: more Karen Joy Fowler. And? More!

Slepyng Hound to WakeI have a sad (but not tragic) post to write that I should just get done. Who wants to be sad though? Oh well.

In the meantime, we have all kinds of loveliness coming in from those authorly authors:

Karen Joy Fowler tells us what’s on her Christmas list and how she adds value to beach front properties.

That popular translator, Edward Gauvin, is back starting off with a quote from Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud who he says

urges students in his writing workshops to “abandon the haunted castle and consider the haunted bus stop.”

Karen Lord says:

Speculative fiction is the geek paradise–the place to be as a reader if non-fiction thrills you as much as fiction, if you need but the slightest excuse to research dead languages, distant cultures, far-off planets, whispers of future technology, and legends ancient and urban.

Vincent McCaffrey confesses

I was not a very good paperboy. I had a strong arm, but my fold was not always up to the rigors of the aerial journey.

And here’s where you can get a freebie advance copy of the second Hound novel.

More as the week goes on.

Happy St. Nicholas’s Day!
