Bits and bobs of interesting information.

Hey, look, I'm in Dear Author! I'm assuming I fall under the category of 'leaves me completely unmoved' for the blogger, but that's okay, because it just gives me a lot more room to be a total DINO NINJA SURPRISE ATTACK. For serious. I will come out of nowhere and blind the world with science!

Oh, and hey, I found my official genre acquisition announcement. It reads:

"Seanan McGuire's ROSEMARY AND RUE, the first book in a new urban fantasy series featuring a half-human, half-fae private investigator, to Sheila Gilbert at DAW, in a three-book deal, by Diana Fox at Fox Literary (world)."

...have you ever noticed how almost everything sounds bland when you boil it down to a single sentence? Must. Blind. World. With. Science. Well, in this case, must blind world with folklore, magic, and an insanely intricate plot. But still. I have an announcement!

From seferin: Animated icons of my horror movie alphabet. Because dude, there is no world in which that is not awesome. Also because dude, there is no world in which this is not all very good advice. (Mike wants to make a calendar of the horror alphabet. I admit to being enormously tempted by the idea of an illustrated comic. And the beat goes on.)

What's new and awesome in the world of you?

As I commented over at Dear Author, that sentence doesn't do much. Instead of grabbing attention, it feels like the results of Mad Libs: Story Summary Edition.

(First name of somebody in the room) (last name of somebody not in the room)'s (noun) and (noun), the (ordinal number) book in a (adjective) (genre) series featuring a half-(fictional creature) (job title), sold to (first name of somebody not in the room) (last name of somebody in the room) at (publishing house).
