New MTV Show Finding Carter - has Alexis Denisof as the main character's father. (I tell you, I've seen the promo for it many times during Teen Wolf - and never saw A.D.)
It debuts tonight (I think.)

So who wants a book?
I fell in love with Kelly Thompson's book Storykiller, just like I did with her first book, The Girl Who Would Be King. They're both clever feminist takes on superheroes.
I first bought the kindle version (which you can currently get for free at the above Amazon link) and then when Thompson made the limited edition hardcover Kickstarter edition available in her online store, I bought that as well. Except she mailed me a review copy by mistake. She's gonna send me a signed and numbered version, but she's letting me keep the review copy.
It's a very nice hardcover edition that has lots of artwork by different artists (it's a prose book) . She asked me to give it to a school or library or a friend to help spread the word about it. So I'm making it available to folks here. I'm thinking if more than one person wants to read it and doesn't want the free kindle edition, folks can share it by sending it to someone else when they're done reading it. And then the last person can maybe donate it to a school or a library? (Chicago public libraries no longer accept book donations.) Or if no one wants it, can someone suggest a school or library where it would be appreciated?
Contact me at my profile addy or in Natter if you want to discuss....
Also, here's a nice post she wrote for The Mary Sue: Without Buffy Summers There Is No Tessa Battle | The Mary Sue
A new second-world fantasy story is up at Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
In addition to the ludicrously specific types of poems and essays it publishes, the online literary journal Radius: Poetry From the Center to the Edge, has begun seeking short fiction.
But as is usually the case, our needs are very specific:
Here’s what we’re looking for:
Our pilot program features stores by Gary Phillips, Jeffrey DeRego, DeMarco-Barrett and myself.

Buffistas were wondering how to help kids on the border. Texas Young Democrats has a wishlist for this purpose which I donated to. It's here.http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=cm_wl_search_rvp_wl?ie=UTF8&cid=A89PGKVNJDVAO

So next year I'm going to be writing book reviews for Lightspeed. Yeah. That is a thing that is happening in my life.
