Just a quick, link-filled entry today. Got to keep it brief before the ice starts to build up and we lose power here in Raleigh...

The Clarion Auction is in its last 7.5 hours now, so if you're gonna get to bidding, get to bidding! I'm in the lead on three books right now, and I'm feeling glad I got outbid on the five or six other books I felt I had to have yesterday... (Books I'm trying for are by Bishop and Wells, and one edited by Sarrantonio -- just try and outbid me, I dare ya!)

James Patrick Kelly once again has given a nice nod to a lot of writers I know (um, including myself) by linking to those writers' journals and blogs in his latest Asimov's column. If you jumped on over here for the first time from Jim's online column, please leave a Comment and say hello! And now I have a lot more good journals to flip through every day...

For more good reading material, check out the Locus Recommended Reading List for what they consider the best stuff of '04. If you're a Locus subscriber, you can also participate in the annual Locus Poll and Survey.

And lastly, just because I feel like it, here's the answer you've been waiting for all your life, I'm sure. I guess Yahoo! would know, right??? I was pulling for Green Arrow myself. Later.
