Avatar movie review!
, , and I all went to go see Avatar last night, finally–the second time for , but the first time for and me. Picoreview: Okay sure, the plot’s totally predictable, although I didn’t find it nearly as weakly so as many comments had led me to believe. And holy crap, so very, very pretty,…

This just in: Faerie Blood audiobook
The folks at Action Audio have a partnership going with Drollerie Press to do audio editions of our bigger-selling titles–and apparently it’s now Faerie Blood‘s turn to go audio!

Whoa! Family history FTW!
My little sister sent me a lovely, lovely thing in email today: a whole bunch of scanned-in copies of old photographs from our grandmother. Nearly 10 megs’ worth. I’m not going to post them all, but I totally need to share a couple of them with you. This first one is in Naples, Italy, in…

Right then, holiday is over and the new year has begun
I know I keep saying this, but let’s see if I can hold to it for a while now that the new year is under way, eh? Back into Bone Walker tonight, with Chapter 7 underway. I’ve got me a Kendis with a head full of stuff she’d really rather not have to be dealing…
