Nostalgia for the Out-of-Print

I saw the other day that a Goodreads group, Endicott Mythic Fiction, is doing my first novel, A Scattering of Jades, for their February read. They are of course all buying the book for a nickel because it's been out of print for a while. I got a little maudlin about this and then started thinking about favorite out-of-print books...remember when (for example) lots of Phil Dick's books were out of print? My favorite out-of-print book as of right this minute is probably Michael Kandel's Captain Jack Zodiac. Yours?

You've Already Seen This, But...

...watch it again.

Talking Transformers

If you care to, you can read this interview with Kevin Lukis of Unicron.com, wherein we talk Michigan football (back when I still thought Les Miles would return to Ann Arbor) and various Transformers-related things, including some little tidbits about the next book.

Speaking of Michigan football, rough night for Wolverines last night, what with Chuck Woodson breaking his collarbone and all the other Michigan guys in the game playing for the wrong team...

Rough Day for Mascots

Dark Sun #2 Cover and Preview

From IDW via Wizards of the Coast, this cover (by Andy Brase; interior art by Peter Bergting, colors by Ronda Pattison). Spiffy, no? Click for preview. And look for the book itself next Wednesday...

Any One of Us Could Be a Mimic Octopus

I am awestruck by this. Especially the last transformation. (Not sure how I feel about the simile used to describe it, though.)

Amen

In other news, looks like Daniele Serra and I are going to be doing an illustrated...well, narrative art book? Not sure how to describe it...with PS Publishing. It's mighty cool.

Jeff Jones Documentary Project

If you dig the art of Jeffrey Catherine Jones, you should check out (and support!) this Kickstarter documentary project by MaCab Films.

Favorite Pic of the Day So Far

Most "Jesus Was A Capricorn"-style stuff annoys me, but this one is pretty good...



Thanks to Johnny Rog!

You should all eat these cookies, made by my most excellent wife. I have. A bunch of them. And now I'm going to go eat more.
