Okay, free stuff, part one:<br /><br />I belong to <a href="http://www.bookviewcafe.com/">the Book View Cafe</a>, a group of over twenty professional authors exploring the wonderful options available to us through the Internet. What does this mean to you? It means, among other things, "free online fiction." Yeah, I thought you might like that one. I'm a Friday girl in the rotation, which means my short stories go online (when they're available) on Fridays&mdash;and this week is no different. So take a look at this week's dark fairy tale offering...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/Seanan-McGuire/Seanan-McGuire-Short-Stories/Knives">Knives.</a><br /><br />If you missed last week's story, a little moral fable with vampires in, it's also available to read:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/Seanan-McGuire/Seanan-McGuire-Short-Stories/Anthony-s-Vampire">Anthony's Vampire.</a><br /><br />Go, read, enjoy, and explore the many wonderful things that the Book View Cafe has to offer.<br /><br />Free stuff, part two:<br /><br />There are some truly <i>incredible</i> new icons and wallpapers available on my <a href="http://seananmcguire.com/wallpapers.php">website icons and wallpapers page</a>. Seriously, these just took my breath away when Tara sent them to me. (Remember, my graphic designer, <span class="ljuser i-ljuser i-ljuser-type-P " data-ljuser="taraoshea" lj:user="taraoshea" ><a href="http://taraoshea.livejournal.com/profile" target="_self" class="i-ljuser-profile" ><img class="i-ljuser-userhead" src="http://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.svg?v=17080?v=158.1" /></a><a href="http://taraoshea.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username" target="_self" ><b>taraoshea</b></a></span>, is available for freelance work! You just can't keep her.) I absolutely could not be happier with these gorgeous giveaways, and they're totally available for you to use on your computer, journal, or whatever.<br /><br />Happy cat is happy. Free stuff is free.
