So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite?

This review for Singing Innocence and Experience is going to spoil me for amazon.com forever.* Wow. Thanks!

I rather like the idea of being a period fantasist for the present day . . .

*Even with a half-star off for the weird typo: it's an error in the page headers for "Letters from the Eighth Circle" and "Return on the Downward Road," not, thank God, a misprint in the stories themselves. oldcharliebrown informs me that the problem's since been fixed, so if you own one of the typo'd copies—I don't know, congratulations, you've got a collectible. Either that, or my proofreading skills just occasionally suck.

Mine has those funky doubled headers. Consider it collected.

Years from now, you can put it up for sale on eBay and people will say ". . . why?"

Well deserved congratulations. It's great to see a real live critic share with the e-world what some privileged few of us have believed for a long time.

And I have an ARC of the book that has a different cover (*snerk*).

You can sell that one on eBay any time you like . . .

Yay!

SF Site's review (http://www.sfsite.com/03b/md220.htm) of Mythic Delirium 13 is up, btw.

I didn't even know SF Site had a review of Mythic Delirium #13 slated. Cool. Thanks for letting me know!

. . . with an extremely complimentary mention of "Not the Song of Briseis." Wow. I'm amazed: it's not that I dislike the poem, but I consider it very unlike my usual style. I wrote it on the train to New Haven in February 2004, right after I had read Christopher Logue's War Music in its entirety for the first time, and then I looked at it there on the page and thought, "Hm." I suppose this means I should experiment more . . .

Huzzah! That's a well-deserved bunch of praise.

And I too have a collectable! The bad news for my plans for early retirement is that it's an autographed copy, so I won't part with it. My heirs are now assured fame and fortune, however.
