Warning! Spin-off Blog Approaches!

Good day virtual virtuosos. I just wanted to drop a line to my faithful readers that I've started a brand new blog about my collection of vinyl records. It will resemble this blog in layout and format (I happen to like my setup here so why not reproduce it?), so I'll be writing short pieces on the 45 and 33 1/3 rpm disks in my collection. I might also post on issues relating to establishing, maintaining and enjoying vinyl collections, but mostly I'll be talking about the music. I promise I'll have something interesting posted sometime this weekend, so swing on by sometime!

My new site is Vivacious Vintage Vinyl, which I've also linked to on my blogroll over there -->

Skål!

Good Morrow Blogosphere!

Just two quick notes.

First, my good friend Jeff Chapman has sold his short story "The Princess and the Vampire" to Coach's Midnight Diner, a print anthology. Having looked the story over prior to his submission, I was certain it would do well. It's an interesting perspective on the recent teenage vampire craze, a cautionary tale, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a love affair with a demon or demoness. Jeff's blog, as well as the full account of his victory, may be found here.

Congratulations Jeff, keep up the excellent work!

Second, I'm afraid I'm going to be off-world next week for a little respite from the daily trials and tribulations of the modern aspiring author. I'll try to get another post written, maybe post-publish it in the middle of the week. At any rate, I'll be taking the Poetic Edda with me, so I should have plenty to talk about upon my return.

Callisto is simply marvelous this time of century, that was my choice, but everyone else wanted to stay by the sulphur beaches of Io, and in the end I acquiesced.

Sorry everyone, this isn't a real post. I need to publish a verification code for Technorati before I can be added to their indexes.

A shameless ploy to increase readership.

Here's the code:

I expect I'll have another post ready for my loyal blogonauts by monday or so.
