* Congrats to Emma Rios on winning the Mejor Autor Revelación award in Madrid this past weekend.

* Cherie Priest got into a knife fight with a pirate (and then got experimented on by ER techs)

* Kid Shirt is, um, up to things I don’t quite comprehend.

* Marie Javins is guestblogging at Chronicle Books. She also notes the fact that you cannot actually see the Great Wall from space.

* Congrats also to Wil Wheaton on re-selling HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES to Subterranean Books (home of the special Siege-covered edition of CROOKED LITTLE VEIN that seemed to sell out in fifteen seconds or so).
