Clawed my way through to another Friday. I'm kind of not feeling well this morning; hopefully that will go away soon.

I mentioned this on Facebook but forgot to post it here: There is an 80 year old woman in my aerobics class. I hope when I'm 80, I can still do an hour aerobics workout with weights. That would be awfully nice.

If you missed it yesterday, The list of non-European Fantasy by Women Writers. It's now up to about 102 writers.

When I have some time, I'm going to go over the suggested additions and add some more. We did include a few books from Eastern Europe, that used Jewish or early Russian folklore, because we thought readers might be interested in them.

Locus: Tor Books has announced the company will stop selling e-books encrypted with digital rights management (DRM) software starting this July. This change encompasses the Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen lines.

There are other publishers who already sell DRM-free ebooks: Night Shade (my publisher) sells them through the Baen Ebooks site here and Angry Robot does Robot Trading Company.

Future Fire has a signed books giveaway drawing here. Several fantastically generous and supremely talented authors have donated signed copies of books for us to give away to help encourage donations to the We See a Different Frontier peerbacker. We're holding a prize draw to let you win one of these titles, and all you need to enter is to back our (very worthy) project—we plan to publish a colonialism-themed anthology of new speculative fiction from outside the first world perspective, guest edited by Fábio Fernandes—to the tune of a few dollars.
