Thursday Quick Notes and Links
Today I got my money from audible.com, so am reminded to alert you, once again, that Bullettime has an audio book. It also does that thing where you can go back and forth between the audio and the Kindle if you like. Here's also a link for the UK edition of the audio book. I get a dollar if you buy one, by the way.
I'm pleased to get this end of month windfall, as I'll be spending the weekend in Seattle, at the Locus Awards. As you may remember, The Future Is Japanese is up for the award in the anthology category. I'll mostly just be skulking around, I guess. I am especially interested in finally seeing Seattle, however. I've tried twice! First, I was invited to Crypticon, and as it was to be in Seattle, I was eager to attend. Then the convention had to change location to Everett. "Is Everett like Seattle?" I asked. "Sure," they told me. It was sort of like being invited to Manhattan and then spending the weekend in Yonkers. Then I went to another convention in Seattle, back when Harmony by Project Itoh was a Philip K. Dick award nominee. And about halfway through the weekend, someone whispered in my ear, "Actually...you're in Tacoma!" Auuugh. But I have been guaranteed that I'll actually be in Seattle. SEATTLE!!!!
Worth reading: the complaint in the Paula Deen lawsuit.

The final batch of Unemployment Stories is up on Gawker. I've been reading the series religiously. The emotion in question is aidos. In 2008, when everyone else's life fell apart, I moved across the country to take an awesome publishing job that flies me places and lets me work on award-winning novels and award-nominated anthologies. I'm out of debt, healthy, married, publishing anywhere between one and five books a year on my own outside of work, and am having a great time generally. How could I not read the series? Perhaps my plane will crash tomorrow.
A sad Indiegogo: Author Jay Lake has been given 3-6 months to live. Before he dies, he's going to take his daughter to New Zealand. We want to make a documentary of their trip. Why not donate a few bucks?
