rwday's wonderful m/m near future fantasy (although that doesn't adequately label it, it actually defies catagorization) "A Strong & Sudden Thaw" is released today. I'm going to (try and) do a review of it when I get my lovely (signed) copy from the author. I'll try and be objective, but as I was there when it was written I don't know how successful I will be. You know my tastes, or most of you do, so I hope you trust me when I say that you'll love it. Those of you who knew her when she was

eumenides1 know how very talented she is, so won't need my paltry recommendation. I knew her before she was a novelist, you know.

2. A sale for me! I'm all bouncy about this one for more than the reason that I sold something. It was a "private call" from Alyson books for Pirates (hence why I was writing shagging pirates) and it was accepted. When I say "private" it probably still went out to 100's of people, so there was no guarantee of acceptance (I was invited to submit for Ultimate Gay Erotica 2006 after getting into UGE 2005, but wasn't accepted into UGE2006). So anyway. A Sale and so... SQUEE!!
