Good conversations going on the Convoluted Albatross and Yahoo! group from the Clarion alum. It’s nice to see what people have to say about our time together now that we’ve all had some time to digest the experience.

I also picked up Jeff Ford’s “The Physiognomy” and “The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque” at the Half Price books. He was listed under Fiction instead of Fantasy/Sci-Fi. I wonder where the good folks at Half Price would file “The Fantasy Writer’s Assistant” then?

The bad news is that this blog came under attack earlier this week. Some Texas Hold ‘Em poker site spamming the replies to the post with pithy quotes from the ages. The bastards don’t even the decency to cite the quotations–and some were actually quite good.

I also found Clarionette Marjorie Liu’s blog and website, where she proclaims to be shy but then blogs about ogling the moving guys. Shy? Marjorie, some of us know you too well…
