Byzantine Blog

Probably the only vaguely interesting thing about me is that with my wife, Mary Reed, I co-author the John the Eunuch mystery series set in sixth century Constantinople. But that doesn't stop me from dwelling here on the boring minutiae of the rest of my life, present and past, along with the occasional word about writing.

There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.

A Zine for the Holidays

Don't go away! We'll be right back with more journal excitment. But first:

David Burton writes:

Just wanted to let you know that the ninth issue of my zine, PIXEL, is available for downloading.

This issue features Eric Mayer's "Notes From Byzantium" column (various bits about the holidays and mailing fanzines); Lee Lavell's "Much Nothings" column (a school Christmas program gone wrong, contrasting today with the WWII era, and some Random Thoughts); Ted White's "Whither Fandom?" column (a reminiscence of Jerry Bails of comics fandom, newgroup/listerv trolls, and the N3F); Chris Garcia's "Found In Collection" column (about the MITS Altair computer, Paul Allen and Bill Gates, and a Worldcon Program Book); Dave Locke's "I Feel A Draft" (about an Army physical); Peter Sullivan's "Being Frank" fanzine review column (BANANA WINGS, eI, PEREGRINE NATIONS, and SCIENCE FICTION FIVE YEARLY); and the lettercolumn and original artwork by David Lewton and Brad Foster.

It can be downloaded here. File size is approximately 515K.

Ok. So Dave isn't our sponsor or anything, but remember, when you were a kid, how at the end of every Saturday morning cartoon show, they'd say "Don't go away...." And then, after five or six minutes of commercials they'd be back....but contrary to what they'd promised, it was just to roll the damn credits?

Bastards.
