Fog and Links
We are covered by fog again this morning. It's after 8:00 here now and it still hasn't burned off yet. I'm really glad I don't have to drive in it, as there are some low spots between here and the university, and it seems to collect in those and get even thicker.

* I can't remember who posted this. It's Retronaut, Photos from the World Fair, Paris 1900.
* Book View Cafe just released: Practical Meerkat's 52 Bits of Useful Info for Young (and Old) Writers by Laura Anne Gilman. Writing is a craft. Publishing is a business. Today's world requires you to understand both. It's $2.99 for the ebook.
* Weird Fiction Review: The Strangest of Neverlands: Ray Caesar's Luminous, Defiant Lost Girls by Nancy Hightower
I was first introduced to Ray Caesar's work when writing the catalogue essay for Carrie Ann Baade's Cute and Creepy show, which was exhibited at Florida State University's Fine Art Museum this past October. I haven't been able to shake the images of his haunting, and haunted, beauties ever since. Trapped forever between woman and girl, human and creature, these lovelies radiate a strength and light amid the perils that threaten their very existence.
* The Book Smugglers: Celebrating 50 Years of A Wrinkle In Time
Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time – rejected by countless publishers before finally finding a home with FSG in 1962, was a formative novel for me as a young girl. With its sympathetic heroine, the socially awkward (but mathematically savvy) Meg, the exceptionally empathetic Charles, the admittedly crushworthy Calvin, and the slew of strange immortals, science fictional dimension-jumping aspects of the novel, and, most importantly, the message of love conquering all won over my twelve-year-old heart.
* Also on Book View Cafe: An Article by Linda Nagata on The Cloud Roads and The Serpent Sea She says nice things about them, and talks about the way magic is used in the books.
