Reminder: Getting my MAD SCIENCE on today at Borderlands Books!

Greetings, people of Earth.

I will be appearing today at Borderlands Books in San Francisco at three p.m., where I, along with John Joseph Adams, will be explaining the world domination plans as described in The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination. (We do not believe in confusing titles here in the lab. Confusing titles mean melted minions, and that's a waste of resources.)

I understand that you may have other things to do, but I implore you to attend the event, or to contact the bookstore to order signed books, as we will look kindly upon those who support the anthology, and given the size of my vegetable hybrid army, "looking kindly" may save your city from being used as an incubation hive.

From my heart and from my hands, why don't people understand that I just need to subjugate them all to my will?

Still waiting for her shiny new Australia,
Seanan.

Thank you for your contribution to this gem of an anthology and for telling us all about it. I finally had time on Sunday to pick up the copy that my local bookstore was holding for me. I'm only 8 stories in and have loved all but one of them so far. The first three particularly brought a smile to my face, and I suspect that I'll be looking back at this anthology when I ponder Hugo nominations next year. This is a collection I'll be savoring all week, and I have plans to be sitting at the front of the classroom in my lab coat holding the book when the students walk in just to see their reactions. :)

An aside to all Mad Scientists who want to live long enough to Show Them All; if your lab tech asks you if you're sure something's a good idea, take a moment to think before you reply. And if you see your tech running, try to keep up. Those of us who survive our first lab job develop finely honed survival instincts, and watching us may well let you live to take revenge upon those who have thwarted you.

I almost wish I weren't in it, just so people wouldn't think I was being self-serving when I told them how amazing it was.
