dduane_feedThat’s so lovely! Thanks for letting me know. 😄 ….Now I have to go tease her (and thank her) for goodmouthing me behind my back. 😏
(BTW, here’s a link to the interview, which is a lot of fun—)

kaberettysobeldduane_feedDelivery Robot Dogpiled on the Streets of Philly
In the 30 second clip, the little bot is kicked, sat on, laughed at, and even humped by a crowd of onlookers as it prattles along to its destination.
After escaping the crowd’s wrath, the robot ambles over past Dillon, who’s able to get a clear shot of graffiti reading “DESTROY ME PLZ” scrawled on its plastic chassis.
“ROB HIM OF HIS COPPER IMMEDIATELY,” another enterprising Philadelphian commented.
(ETA @nudistcat: I can’t resist…. but you came SO CLOSE to spelling that river’s name right. :) Just one letter off…)

So, per @paulgadzikowski ’s good suggestion: for those of you who already have the 9-volume “box set” of the Young Wizards New Millennium Editions, but would like to pick up all the interstitial and other associated Young Wizards-universe stuff presently available, at a truly silly discount: this bundle’s what you’re after.
It contains:
As usual, this bundle comes with the Ebooks Direct lifetime replacement guarantee: lose your files or change platforms and we’ll replace them for you, or swap your file formats for you, free.
And the usual warning to our friends in the UK: with the greatest regret in the world, the expensive bureaucracy resulting from Brexit means that we can’t sell to you directly. Our apologies.
For those of you who can pick this up, though, and are interested: get it here! And thanks in advance for your business. 🙂

dduane_feedApparently I need to check the settings again. :/
But also: reading this, I feel half inclined to weep.
I mean… honestly. The second balloon is sufficient to strongly suggest that they’re the one who needs a beta.
(wanders off muttering) …I think I need more tea.
(ETA: attn: @next-crisis: Aha, I found it.)
kaberettI left so many things out of the zoo post on Saturday (that I have still not gone back to add in) but the one I am telling you about today (aside from the dwarf mongeese, which I mention only in passing) is Snake, But What If Unicorn:
( Read more... )
This Creature is Gonyosoma boulengeri, the rhinoceros ratsnake. The accompanying distractions included, gloriously,
The function of their majestic nose-points is unknown as we still have a lot to learn about these beautiful animals.

In 2008 I grabbed this pic of a painting in a pub window in Dublin’s Temple Bar.
This morning I ran into an animated version of it (uncredited, naturally) on Facebook. Want to know what’s even funnier? They’d changed the driver’s side from right to left. 😏
dduane_feedWith great regret, I’ve had to close down access to this feature for people I don’t follow. I’m routinely getting so many scam and timewasting messages in it (usually from completely nonqualified people trying to sell me promotional services) that right now it’s not a source of anything but annoyance. And with life already being, in general, annoying enough… well.
So, sorry about that.
Meanwhile the Inbox is still available (with the understanding that life around here can sometimes get hectic, and there’s no telling when I’ll be able to get back to you. Apologies for that too).
Thanks for your understanding, all.
dduane_feedThere's not, really. But that's a problem I could certainly remedy when I have five minutes to rub together. Leave it with me for a bit. :)
ETA: And here it is.
...(The bookstore's over here, for those who might have missed it:)
Ebooks Direct from SF & fantasy writers Diane Duane and Peter Morwood
(BTW, for those who might be curious: I'm in the process of working out how to recover the ebook versions of @petermorwood's novels from the company currently selling them. More news on this as I get it.)
dduane_feedI had a bit of a look around (for such resources come and go), and while there are a number of them that are reliable for screenwriters—like IndieTalk and podcast-based sites like John August—I hadn't really previously looked into what might be available for prose writers.
That said, after glancing around a little, these two might benefit from further investigation:
...If anybody else has recs that would be helpful here, maybe you'd want to drop them into the comments to this post?
Thanks, folks!
