    <content type="html">I am officially too tired to brain.  Wait, no; that's not entirely true.  I am too scatter-pants to brain.  I need more sleep, but I'm also trying to think about like twenty things at the same time, which doesn't help with the braining.  Someone come over and give me a booster shot of single-mindedness, because I am &lt;i&gt;out&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here, have some interviews I've done recently, because they're fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ramblings-of-a-teenage-novelist.blogspot.com/2011/06/author-interview-mira-grant-author-of.html"&gt;Ramblings of a Teenage Novelist is a relatively new blog&lt;/a&gt;, and demonstrated "if you don't ask, you don't get" by requesting an interview about the Mira Grant books.  I was glad to oblige, and some awesome questions got asked!  Check it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the whole thing with &lt;i&gt;Feed&lt;/i&gt; being up for a Shirley Jackson Award and me being basically dead of amazed?  &lt;a href="http://www.shirleyjacksonawards.org/blog/2011/06/17/charles-tan-interviews-mira-grant/"&gt;Well, here's my official interview for the award site, about suspense and research and plausibility&lt;/a&gt;.  I squealed when I got the request.  It made the nomination way more real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazon Omnivoracious &lt;a href="http://www.omnivoracious.com/2011/06/mira-grant-on-her-new-novel-deadline.html"&gt;posed some excellent questions about the world of Newsflesh&lt;/a&gt;, which I was happy to answer.  It's hard doing the interview circuit right around the time of a book release; I keep needing to find new things to say.  Go see if I succeeded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, not quite a review, but: &lt;a href="http://io9.com/5811586/10-ace-investigative-reporters-from-science-fiction-and-fantasy"&gt;Georgia Mason made io9's list of the Top Ten Investigative Reporters from Science Fiction and Fantasy&lt;/a&gt;.  They're from the future, you know.  Them liking me melts my blackened little serial killer heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now can I have a nap?</content>
