I'm still alive over here, and in fact, I'm even improving. Huzzah for modern medicine! Huzzah also for my friend Kat, whose birthday was yesterday – though we're meeting up for choco-martinis this afternoon, instead. Furthermore huzzahs for having handed in the Ganymede edits; and subsequent huzzahs for Phoenix Comic Con this coming weekend.

I'd go on, but I need to make some lunch so I can take those aforementioned antibiotics. So I'll sign off with some links:

Divine Goth/Lolita/Steampunk bling – So my pal and co-conspirator Sam (the exceptional designer Blasphemina) is having a run of shit-tastic luck. Her home was damaged/flooded yesterday in the storms that sent tornadoes careening around the midwest – but much of her stock is still intact, and she's hoping to sell some goodies to help with repairs. Go take a peek at her Etsy shop and see if anything strikes your fancy. I'll vouch for her products! I own some of them myself.

Thackeray T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities makes the L.A. Times summer reading list – This is relevant to my interests because I am one of the contributers, and I am very, very excited about seeing this book in print. I admit, it took me a minute to spot it in the L.A. Times page, but it's there – under "Page Turners" as it damn well ought to be.

Clementine gets a great quick-and-dirty review – Speaking of this book, there's been a slight delay with regards to the paperback edition, but it is still coming. And at present, you can find it in a number of digital formats including Nook, Kindle, and others – plus an audiobook.
