AHOY-HOY, FRANDOS. It is I, the King-of-Town! I come to deliver unto you a great bevy of news with the tolling of my bell,\u00a0cla-clang, cla-clang<\/em>. Or something.<\/p>\n

First of all, fuck Mondays, right?\u00a0Especially<\/em> fuck the Monday after a holiday.<\/p>\n

Okay, moving on.<\/p>\n

Some buzzy news bits to hug and squeeze —<\/p>\n

First, I got these:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first official ARCs \/ AREs (Advanced Reader Copies\/Editions) of\u00a0Wanderers<\/strong>. Holy shit, it’s real! The product of a whole lotta work is coming to fruition — 800 pages of it, though still not in your hands until July, I’m afraid.<\/p>\n

Also, an author I quite admire (seriously, her Book of M was so good, check it out in print<\/a> or eBook<\/a>), Peng Shepherd, had some very nice things to say about the book. She said, in a tweet<\/a>, that “WANDERERS<\/strong> is a masterpiece, & you want it in your hands the second it comes out.” And Delilah S. Dawson,\u00a0another<\/em> writer I deeply admire and one I count as a most excellent friend, said the book makes her jealous, and for a writer, that’s high compliment indeed. Honestly, both Shepherd and Dawson make\u00a0me<\/em> jealous.<\/p>\n

If you wanna preorder Wanderers<\/strong> in print, then the best place to do so is at your favorite local indie bookstore — which you can always find via Indiebound<\/a>. Also worth reminding that many, even most, indie stores will\u00a0ship right to you<\/em>. If you wanna pre-order eBook, got you covered there<\/a>, too. And you can add it at Goodreads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s see. What else?<\/p>\n

You\u00a0are<\/em> listening to Ragnatalk, right? This past week Anthony and I had special guest Trin Garritano<\/a>, who reminds us that\u00a0Thor: Ragnarok<\/strong> is the most bisexual movie ever, and there’s a reason it’s called the Bi-Frost and not the Straight-Frost. Go listen<\/a>! Or be haunted by three spirits!<\/p>\n

In personal news, we put up our Christmas tree. Apparently this, by some metrics, is early? We always try to do it the weekend after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

WHATEVER, WE’RE JUST FESTIVE AS FUCK OVER HERE.<\/p>\n

*barfs tinsel*<\/p>\n

Aaaaaanyway, here are some photos of heirloom apples in macro — don’t forget to check out my #heirloomapplereview thread<\/a>, which has now reached its\u00a0dread conclusion\u00a0<\/em>after, uhh, 170-some tweets? Wow, I might have a problem. In need of an\u00a0apple intervention<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Have a great week, weirdos.<\/p>\n
