Three-Lobed Burning Eye print annual, Volume 5

And today's good news is that the Three-Lobed Burning Eye print annual, Volume 5 is now open for pre-orders! You can order here or here.

This print annual contains tales from me, theferrett, Kelly Barnhill, Shweta Narayan and others. And, important note: the limited edition print run is based entirely on the number of pre-orders, so if you have any interest (and of course you do), now would be the time to order.

Rundelstone of Oz

I chatter about puppets, false nostalgia, changes in children's writing and the Rundelstone of Oz over at Tor.com today.

In completely unrelated news, I am saddened to tell you that the Grey One has been kept out of the guest bedroom ALL DAY because a certain person has been using it to assemble furniture. I am saddened mostly because the result of this has been irritated claw marks up and down my stomach. I suspect that most, if not all of you, would argue that assembling furniture is a perfectly legal, unremarkable and indeed beneficial thing to do. You, however, are not a cat who was expecting -- nay, demanding -- that she be allowed to take her daily nap in the guest bedroom because clearly the couch and my bedroom and various chairs and floors and windowsills are completely unacceptable at this time for nap purposes.

It's a good thing she hasn't learned to type yet. She would put every other internet drama queen to shame, I tell you. To absolute shame.
