So. Life is good! Busy. We did the tour of the hospital Sunday, and... now we're officially done with our various childbirth and newborn care classes and tours and workshops and orientation sessions! Hurray! All that's left is to, er, have the baby, and integrate it into our lives!

Flytrap 8 is pretty much done (just waiting on a couple of bios and some proofreading), and is ready for pre-order! Tell your friends. I expect to take the issue to the printer next week, and it should be out at the end of the month, in time for the World Fantasy Convention. Check out that table of contents! It's a really strong issue.

We're thinking of offering a PDF subscription, via e-mail or download, starting with issue #9. The postal rates going up is really rough, especially for overseas people, and we'd like to offer a cheaper alternative. It would probably be, like, half the usual subscription price. Would anybody be interested in that? Would any of you authors we've published be annoyed if we wanted to publish you simultaneously in print and in PDF form in the future? It's something we're pondering...

Now miscellaneous links:

I did a weird fun interview for Blood Engines last week. Writer Jackie Kessler does a regular feature on her site where she has one of her characters, a succubus and radio host name Jezebel, interview the characters of other authors. So Jezebel interviewed my character Marla Mason for her "radio show," and the result is here. Enjoy!
