Riders Wanted
Ever since HBO first took out an option on A GAME OF THRONES -- even before we got an actual production order -- I've been getting emails from readers who desperately wanted to be a part of the production. "I'll do anything!" some of you have written. ((Really, don't say stuff like that. Really. Don't.))
Well, now's your chance. The call has gone out for extras. Details here:

The Return of the Magnificent Seven.
Last day for the INSIDE STRAIGHT sale. There are still a few copies left.
Here's a recap, for those who missed my post a month ago.
So: INSIDE STRAIGHT first edition hardbacks regularly go for $27 on my Signed Books pages... and those are signed only by me. The sale price will be $25, for copies signed by Melinda M. Snodgrass, Daniel Abraham, Ian Tregillis, Carrie Vaughn, Michael Cassutt, John Jos. Miller, and yours truly.

3-0, 3-0
Life is magical and full of joy.
Two more victories for my New York teams today. The Giants totally dominated Tampa Bay, holding them to under a hundred yards of total offense, shutting down their run game completely, pitching a 24-0 shutout. On offense, Jacobs and Bradshaw both ran the ball convincingly, Eli and the receivers looked sharp. The Scottish Kicker did miss a chip shot field goal, probably because the commentators jinxed him by mentioning his name. That, and a few new injuries,...

One Down, One to Go
Major roles, that is.
Still waiting for deals to make (or not) on some of the supporting roles.
No, HBO will not be using those Norwegian wolves everyone has been emailing me about. They look like very nice wolves, but UK laws make it impossible.

As Sandor Clegane, the Hound...
... yes, it's Rory McCann, a wonderful Scots actor.
Most of you figured that out weeks ago, of course. Mea culpa. My clues were much too obvious this time around, especially the spelling of "porage," which yielded up the secret to anyone who googled the word. If I had gone with "porridge," that might have created a few more hours of mystery at least.
Here's the Scotts Porage Oats commercial from which the clue was taken:
