Okay

Iz pretty:

And wow, Lisa Mantchev. God is good. And so is Clarkesworld — thanks for accepting that story. Thanks also to Banzai Cat for the nice words.

In the meantime I think I’ll have to hide somewhere on October 1 as the story itself is… Haha.

And now for the more important things: Congratulations to RoD member Pam Punzalan whose work will be published in the upcoming flash fiction anthology edited by Vince Groyon and published by Milflores Publishing. Mad props, Pammeth!

I know of two other people whose works will be published in the next two? months but am not sure if I can divulge identities as the information might be classified. Congratulations, in any case, you know who you guys are.

Also: Just finished reading Conrado de Quiros’ “Tongues of Fire” which I’m pretty sure I should not have touched as I’ve a pile of books which need to be reviewed, but it’s just really interesting. Review later.

I attended the book launch with Mia and when we were about to have our copies signed I made the usual kapal-ng-mukha introductions plus some fast-paced hustling about sort of you know maybe he could write column about THE IMPORTANCE OF BOOKS AND LIBRARIES AND SUPPORT FOR LITERATURE WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO ACTUAL FUNDING spelled out just so because a lot of our countrymen are kind of obtuse about such things and you sort of have to get in their face and be all like hey punk I’m looking at you and he’s an expert at that and oh yeah we have a book club maybe he’d like to join. He signed my copy: “Dear Kristin, This book is for you! I like you!” Thus rendering me fluttery and giggly all evening (Khursten, I know how you feel now! We are being victimized one by one by these Inquirer columnists!) But anyway:

Sir! I like you too! NEVER SHUT UP! Keep that (metaphorical) tongue going!

I congratulated Lisa on her LJ when she made the announcement yesterday. I told her I knew you and so, she wants to know where people can come and sprinkle fairy dust on your head!!

SO where can people come and sprinkle fairy dust on your head? Here?
