My husband thinks I should treat being an editor at GUD magazine as more of a job with defined hours and less of a thing I do all the time, on and off. There's no connection between this and the fact that since my laptop died I've been hogging his computer and preventing him working on his photos in the evenings. Ahem. There's merit in his suggestion, however. So today I buckled down to get some stuff...

I'm posting this to show off my new icon. now, why would anyone like to show off something like this? Well, Marion is my favorite character in the webcomic Dung Eon by dungeoneer and he nicely provided me with it. I was getting very tired of the old one, which was the cover of one of my novels, Blood Arcane. nentwined made that one for me.

GUD (pronounced “good”) is Greatest Uncommon Denominator , a print/pdf magazine with 200 pages of literary and genre fiction, poetry, and art. We feature fiction that ranges from 75 to 15,000 words. Issue 1 comes to life with Darby Larson's "Electroencephalography" where an experiment in robot-building goes terribly awry. And if you've ever woken up with an unexpected physical deformity-say,...

The New York Times reports on the disappearing honeybees: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/24/scien ce/24bees.html Something I have not seen mentioned in these articles is this fact: the honeybee in question ( Apis mellifera ) is not native to the Americas, and neither is anything(?) it pollinates. Wikipedia tells me that this bee was brought to the Americas in 1622, and the local folks called...

At last! Time to find out how this serial's going to end! For the next twelve hours I'll accept any statements, sentences or sentence fragments, exclamations, random words -- anything at all -- although if nentwined tries to get another free plug for his magazine I shall personally whip him with a handful of pig offal. Off you go, then. And then hopefully we can do something else.
