I’m not sure this will post correctly, as I’m not hosting these images, so keep your fingers crossed. If it doesn’t work, blame me – if it does, credit Bill^2, who was smart enough to grab a picture at absolutely the right time. Thanks Bill!

From the September 23rd Associated Press Newswire: Cooler-than-cool author Neil Gaiman is proof that you’re never cool to your own kids. Gaiman, 45, dresses in rock-star black, from his boots and pants to his T-shirt and leather jacket. But the best-selling fantasy and graphic-novel writer says his 11-year-old daughter makes him turn off whatever music […]
From the September 23, 2005 Christian Science Monitor: Charlie Nancy is an easily embarrassed London accountant in this sort-of sequel to Gaiman’s “American Gods,” winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards. Attending his father’s funeral, Charlie discovers two disconcerting facts: 1) His dad was actually Anansi, an African trickster god; and 2) Charlie has a […]
David Colton reviewed Anansi Boys in the September 21st USAToday, while Michael Maiello’s review of the novel appeared in the September 21st Forbes: both reviews were positive.

This is going to sound more like a Livejournal entry than a proper post, because I’m really sleepy. Please bear with. But needless to say, Paulette Powell (our hostess for the evening, I believe) and Mariah Aguilar certainly know how to throw a party benefit. It felt like the proverbial good time was had by […]
Interviews don’t quite abound, but the trickle has started: not only is there the Three Monkeys piece, but there’s a rather long feature in DB Magazine (thanks Matt!), and the Author Tracker teases us with a audio interview (Windows Media Player), the news that there will be a Jouni Koponen’s illustrated version of A Study […]
