Speaking of books—man, we're rockin' with these segues—we're past 100 pre-orders for The Nickronomicon and we're still taking pre-orders. Hard copies can be had direct from the publisher at a 20 percent discount here, and various ebook systems have come on line at either $4.99 or $5.00 on the button: Kindle, NOOK, Kobo.

Mamatas made it impossible for Sriduangkaew to keep up the pretence and he cut down the whispering campaign against her off at the knees.

Just so.
