bonus Friday roundup

[swan_tower]

Normally I would wait until I have a few more things to post, but two of these, fresh as of today, are the ones I was waiting for before, so what the heck.

***

I'm today's Big Idea over on John Scalzi's blog "Whatever." It's a feature he runs, where authors lay out what story/setting/conflict seed they started with, and how it developed during the course of writing.

Also, Fantasy Book Critic has posted the world's most in-depth interview with me. The Midnight Never Come-related parts are probably familiar to those who have seen or heard me talk about it before, but Robert asked a lot of other questions pertaining to academia, short fiction, the future of publishing, and more.

In more review-like territory, I made yhlee cry. (In a good way.)

There will, I think, be an awesome piece of news to relate soon, but that's still sitting in the box of Things For A Later Post.

I'm here from Whatever.

I'll be back. I'm sold on your book already.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it.

Me too -- I just read your Big Idea feature on Whatever, and I'm sold.

Does someone publish electronic versions of your books? I'd love to be able to download it for my Sony Reader.

Thanks!

I know there's a Kindle edition, and I believe Fictionwise is selling the book as well, though I'm not sure what the formats are. (E-books are alien territory to me, so I'm afraid I don't know what the Sony Reader requires.)
