Review and interview roundup.

Now is the time on Sprockets where we continue trying to murder the link file, in part because the remains of this cold have left me cotton-headed and glassy-eyed. Now is not the time for deep thoughts. Now is the time for links and listlessness. And so...

Look! It's the Salon Futura interview I recorded immediately after winning the Campbell! Just in case you were starting to think I was exaggerating about the size of this file. Sniff. I miss my tiara...

And here's another interview, this time with Fantasy Faction. There were some interesting capitalization and punctuation choices made in the transcription of this interview. Read it, and marvel!

The Guilded Earlobe did seven questions with Mira Grant. Thrill as I defend zombies as being for everybody, not just for the boys, and explain why I should have a tank. You think I should have a tank, don't you?

The wonderful Kenda at Lurv ala Mode had me stop by to explain a bit about surviving Faerie; I may eventually use this format again, because it was disturbingly fun. Seriously. Best guest post ever.

Oh, right, I promised you some reviews. Here's Fantasy Faction's review of Feed, which says, "To be blunt, I find Feed to be one of the best novels about zombies that I have ever read." Moving on! To...

The Fantasy Faction review of Deadline, which says, "I don't think that Grant should have done anything differently with Deadline. This book was amazing, and an excellent continuation of the Newsflesh trilogy. I know that I will be reading this book, and Feed, again before Blackout releases next year. Probably a few times, if I'm to be honest. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the story, but at the same time I'm so sad for it to come to an end."

I am, too.

And that ends this roundup.

I think you should have a tank until you move to WA. Then I'm not so certain.

But I'd bring my tank with me, silly.

My point exactly! Given your occasional desires to ignite the biosphere, or otherwise wreak havoc on the world or its nearby pieces, I don't think I'm comfortable having you and a tank in the same state, much less tri-county area, as me. What's to keep you from blowing up my house? WITH ME IN IT?

She's not gonna WALK to Washington, y'know.

Of course not, who knows if Oregon is zombie-free this time of year. But... if she's taking an M1 Abrams it tops out at 35mph. That's like a full nonstop day of tank driving. Just sayin'. (Are there services that will drive your tank for you?)

The real question is, can she find parking at street level, as opposed to "on top of the annoying neighbor's car?"

If she can't, I'd say it might be best to put off owning a tank until she can guarantee a parking spot for herself. My vague impression of her plans for when she moves suggests that she might have enough room to park a tank once she gets to WA. Possibly. I'm not certain. (And I'm out of good weasel words and phrases, but I'd throw three or four more in if I had them.)
