    <content type="html">This is one of those days that calls to mind the opening line of Clive Barker's classic &lt;i&gt;The Thief of Time&lt;/i&gt;: "The great gray beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive."  February is a monster, and we're all being digested.  In an effort to slow the process, here are a few interesting things from my link file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Susan, who is splendid, and who makes amazing hand-crafted leather goods, &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/109262836/the-ashes-of-honor-leather-wrist-strap"&gt;is making leather wrist straps with the &lt;i&gt;Ashes of Honor&lt;/i&gt; ding bat on them&lt;/a&gt; (with my permission, naturally).  That's not all she has to offer (my cats love her catnip toys, for example).  Check her out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some rejected warning signs for you.  &lt;a href="http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photos/20-rejected-warning-signs"&gt;I basically want to put these all around my house&lt;/a&gt;, especially "Annnnnnnnd...you're infected."  That, and "We Apologize For What is About to Occur," which may eventually be the title of one of my books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publishers Weekly &lt;a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/authors/profiles/article/53863-monsters-myths-and-music-seanan-mcguire.html"&gt;did a profile on me and it's pretty much amazing&lt;/a&gt;.  I'm just saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also I went on the SF Signal Podcast and spent like, an hour talking about television and how the Syfy Channel Saturday night movies have lost their integrity.  &lt;a href="http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2013/01/the-sf-signal-podcast-episode-174-interview-with-seanan-mcguire/"&gt;You can listen to the whole thing here.&lt;/a&gt;  Warning: It turns out I swear a lot.  Who knew?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, I really need to do a couple of mega review round-ups; my link file is currently threatening to eat my soul in the night, and that would be bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Wednesday!</content>
