Brilliance Audio, BBC, Unicorns and Felicia Day
You know what's surprising? If you google "Unicorns and Felicia Day" you don't get any direct hits.
I find myself oddly proud to be the first.
With less than a week to go, Worldbuilders is still going strong. We've raised more than 92,000 dollars for Heifer International so far, and I'm hoping we can break 100,000 by [...]

Delicious Webcomics and Guest Appearances
Before I talk about today's donation, I need to mention that some of the auctions we're running will be over soon. Most specifically, the signed ARC from Neil Gaiman and the signed collection of Girl Genius trades.
Fair warning. Don't come crying to me because you weren't paying attention and you missed out.
Also, don't be too [...]

Yet even still more signed books
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Well folks, we've got just a little more than a week left before the end of Worldbuilders, and as I type this we are just about to break 80,000 on our Team Heifer page. I'm thinking if we work hard to spread the word we can break 100,000 by the end [...]

Brett Favre Jersey
Every year we run Worldbuilders, we seem to get one donation that's really cool, but that comes out of left field.
Last year, it was the guitar signed by Creed. (Turns out Mark Tremonti and his brother are old-fashioned geeks.)
This year, we ended up with a Brett Favre Jersey signed by, well… Brett Favre.
This is a [...]

Graphic Novels: Batman and Robin, Gaiman and Girl Genius.
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
It's only been a couple days, and the auction for Gaiman's signed, numbered ARC of Stardust is already at $1000 bucks. This makes me happy for Worldbuilders and Heifer international. But at the same time I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from frustrated fans as they see the [...]

Rare books from Gaiman, Sanderson, and Generous Fans
Before I talk about today's donations to Worldbuilders, I feel a moral obligation to point out that you only have until Dec 3rd to bid on the professional read-and-critiques we have up on e-bay.
So if you have a manuscript you're dying to have professionally critiqued, or if you're looking for the perfect Christmas gift for [...]

Still More Signed Books
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Today we've got another batch of gorgeous books donated by generous authors.
Two copies of The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Signed by the author.
As if I didn't have enough reasons to love Peter S. Beagle.
Not only is The Last Unicorn my favorite book of all time. Not only is Peter [...]

Books from DAW
This is a Worldbuilders blog.
Today we've got a ton of books donated by my lovely publisher, DAW.
Well… Okay. Not a ton. That's just not true. But we do have dozens of lovely books from DAW.
Let's take a look at them:
A hardcover copy of The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams.
I read War of the [...]

Giving Thanks
One of my best thanksgiving memories is from 2003, back when I was still living my old student lifestyle.
To be completely honest, I wasn't really a student at that point in my life. But the only real difference between 2003 and 2000 was that I was teaching classes rather than taking them. My habits, hobbies, [...]
