I don't have any ink but when I was younger, I used to tell myself that when I turned forty I would get a tattoo on my calf. I had seen my first calf tattoo when the college theatre group I was working with went to the Edinburgh Fringe. The kilt wearing soldiers had them and I thought they were very sexy. But before I could turn forty, my dad retired and got his ear pierced and a tattoo of a red devil on his calf with the words "Born Lazy" tattooed underneath. If I got a tattoo now, I'd just be copying my dad and suddenly it didn't seem so appealing. Then I saw these - Literary Tattoos - and I'm rethinking that decision.
N. K. Jemison asks - what should science fiction sound like? Missing Voices
The Oddest Book Title of the Year - I'm disappointed that The Italian's One-night Love Child didn't win but glad that at least it made the short list.
I am a big fan of Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series. To kick off their Steampunk Week, Stellar Four has an interesting interview with her.
How Not To Respond to a Review - Wow. Go ahead and read the comments on this one. Just wow. Then take a gander at the Amazon reviews for The Greek Seaman. Before the kerfluffle, the book had a total of three (positive) reviews. Now it has over fifty negative reviews added to the total. At some point, those reviews feel like a dead horse has been beaten, fucked, and then beaten again.
Why Sailor Moon Is Awesome - and revolutionary and kick ass and cool.
