Perfect Present for Knitters!

editrx is such a genius. Besides being my extra very favorite copyeditor, she has come up with an ingenious way for knitters to keep track of rows and wear cool jewelry at the same time. Is there anything this woman can't do?? I am particularly impressed because she's put this up online to raise the funds she rather desperately needs to recover from a series of disasters that make one's blood run cold. Go, editrx! Your doughty New England ancestors would be proud of you. I don't even knit, and I'm tempted to get one just to wear.....

SFBC Roundup

Faithful correspondent Cat Eldridge sends word that books by naominovik and me are the Fantasy runners-up in the Science Fiction Bookclub Books of the Year roundup.

Does this, like, count? Can I put it on my C.V.?

I'm very pleased, anyhow. (The book in question for me, Swords of Riverside, is an SFBC omnibus hardcover containing the full text to Swordspoint, The Privilege of the Sword, and the 3 connective short stories. Available only to SFBC members and, apparently, in used bookstores - or what passes for them online these days - everywhere.)

Thanks, also to blackholly for the nice mention on Cat's Green Man Review annual roundup.

It's all so circular, innit?

I will try tomorrow to tell you all about the Posada (?) on 83rd Street - one of those I Love New York moments that I don't want to forget (complete with horse & fire station) but it's getting awful late and must to bed. Lots got done today, including a very good Interstitial Arts Foundation annual board meeting - which reminds me, I forgot to tell you about Jeff VanderMeer's very cool new page about French interstitial publishing, including an interview with self & Delia, and a video interview with our beloved editor and heartthrob Sebastien Guillot . . . .
