Citizen of the World
Well I don't know about y'all. But I'm considerably more relaxed than a couple weeks ago.
Don't get me wrong. I love running Worldbuilders. I also love working on my book and getting ready for Christmas. I even love packaging t-shirts believe it or not.
I just don't love doing all of those things at the same [...]

Celebrating….
So I've been trying to remember what it is a person does when he isn't working on a book 10 hours a day, then blogging, running a fundraiser, and mailing t-shirts for the other six hours he's awake.
Sarah informed me that what a person does is go get a Christmas tree. She informed me of [...]

Worldbuilders and a T-shirt Update
Worldbuilders
Well, Worldbuilders is finished for another year. Or rather, it's finished for you guys. We here at home base still have a lot of finishing up to do. We've got to organize spreadsheets, do some number juggling, contact a handful of winners, and do a whole lot of packaging.
We'll be doing the official worldbuilders re-cap [...]

The Final Day, our Final Goal, our Final Donations.
Our Final Day:
Tomorrow, Worldbuilders is over for another year.
More precisely, after Friday Dec 17th 2:00 PST Worldbuilders will be over.
While this has been our best year so far, I feel a little bad that I wasn't a little more organized.
I was planning on doing more author interviews like the ones I did last year. I [...]

Books and an Interview with Jerry Holkins from Penny Arcade
I've been reading Penny Arcade for years. More than a decade, really. They're funny, funny people, and I've recommended or referenced their comics in the blog several times over the years.
In brief, I'm a fan.
This year is the year I officially made contact with them. Mike mentioned my book on their page and talked about [...]

A story, A gift, and A Book from Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman has been very supportive of Worldbuilders from the very beginning. Not only has he helped spread the word about the fundraiser to his legion of fans, but he's given us lovely donations of rare books.
Following in that fine tradition, here's his donation for this year:
A limited edition copy of Snow Glass Apples with [...]

Books from DAW, Penguin, and The Book Scouts.
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Today we've got dozens and dozens of books. Signed books, sets of books, and Advance Reading Copies of books that won't be published for months.
Let's start with the ones donated by DAW. They've sent so many books that we're going to start grouping a lot of them together, because listing them [...]

Foreign Books, Rare Manuscripts, Signed Maps, and More…
This weekend we had a snowstorm big enough to collapse a few buildings, close highways, and kill people all through the Midwest. There were were reports of a lamb born with two heads that sang with the voice of a small child. Stars fell from the sky, there was a rain of blood, and people [...]

A story, an update, a milestone, and a little extra time…
The Story:
So last week, John Scalzi posted up a blog taunting folks with his ARC of the Wise Man's Fear.
I was jealous. Partly because he had a copy of my galley and I didn't. But also because *I* wanted to taunt people. But I couldn't, because I didn't have a copy yet.
But look what [...]
