If you’re in Indiana, and anywhere near Kokomo, tomorrow at 1pm I’ll be showing up at Don’s Books with John Scalzi to tap dance, turn the organ grinder, and try to be as entertaining as possible to anyone who shows up.

Book promotion survey results
June 29th 2007 at 10:25 am
Mindy Klasky did a survey on how people buy books and got hundreds of responses back.

Ofblog review of Ragamuffin
June 28th 2007 at 1:29 pm
Ofblog has a rather thoughtful review and detailed summary of Ragamuffin:
Ragamuffin has more of the trappings of a space opera than does Crystal Rain, in that most of the action for the first half of the novel takes place outside of Nanagada between some of the 48 worlds connected by wormholes. There are space battles, [...]

Paul Abbamondi reviews Ragamuffin
