All this stuff and more...
Hey, I'm back. July is bachelor month for me, and finish-this-book month, so it may even be possible. Some quick thoughts:
1. gay marriage is now legal in the US. A good reform, though marriage is itself on the way out. I suspect not very many same-sex couples will marry after all.
2. the other day, the BN.com Sci-Fi Blog gave Move Under Ground some nice ink, which led to me discovering that not one but two pirate NOOK editions of the book were available for purchase, both of which were ripped from my old Creative Commons site. I DMCAed them down, and then my friend and publisher Silvia set up a Smashwords edition for me, which I hope will be up on all the non-amazon sites soon.
2.5 Speaking of Silvia, she is running a 30% off sale on all Innsmouth Free Press books, including The Nickronomicon.
3. I've been seeing many people pass around the Indiegogo campaign to save Greece, which is run by Some Guy Who Is Sure He Can Get The Money to Greece Somehow. Amazingly, he's actually raised some money. You people are morons. By the way, the Bank of Greece has been accepting solidarity donations for some time if you really wish to crowdfund the continuation of the EZ. Anyway, Greece should default, start up the drachma, nationalize the banks and big shipping, and orient trade toward the East and Iberia (which will soon follow in defaulting anyway).
More later!
