My Swollen Head

Magic or Madness just made its fifth best books of the year list with its inclusion on Locus’ 2005 Recommended Reading List. I’m in ace company with the likes of Elizabeth Bear, Judith Berman and John Scalzi. Scott made the YA list along with Holly Black and Carol Emshwiller and other excellencies. Best of all they listed Midnighters 2: Touching Darkness which has been mostly ignored by the other lists. Dunno why. It’s fabulous.

Anyways, I’m off to stick my head in a bucket of cold water in hopes of reducing the swelling.

    Aww shucks. (I had to check the link to see if it really was to my story.(: Call me paranoid…) By the way, I kinda like cricket. But I like stirring you more. You’ve inspired me to get Delany’s book, by the way. Can’t wait. The guy is one smart cookie.

    So did you see the haiku appreciation of your story? I’m so jealous! ‘Twas awesome!

    Yeah! I wrote to E. Catherine Tobler thanking her. It was cool, wasn’t it – a haiku appreciation no less!

    I reckon it’s the best of any of those appreciations. She rocks! And you, sir, are a very lucky bunny rabbit.

    Oh shit, I’ve finally made it to bunny rabbit status. God, I knew it would happen eventually but now it’s here I find myself resisting it (bunny rabbit sounds).
