Thanks to weird network events today, today’s post is potpourri. We’re going to have to schedule some server downtime at The Murkworks soon; I’m just hoping we can limp through January and do it in February, due to reasons. There’ll hopefully be an announcement before the downtime, and not after<\/em>.<\/p>\n

First, as some of you know, my partner Anna has medical news again<\/a>. So to break out of that resulting mood, she’s put Faerie Blood on sale<\/a>, both print and epub editions. And in better news, Carina Press has released the cover for her next book, Valor of the Healer<\/i><\/a>. Check those out.<\/p>\n

Most commentary and discussion that happens on this blog is over on the Livejournal and\/or Dreamwidth echos, of all places. A little on tumblr. But I get comments here, too, so I check the spam folder for false positives. That’s where I found this:<\/p>\n


Is there an echo in here?<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…which is the first time I can recall seeing my own blog mined for response fodder for my own blog<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The spambots seem to be devolving. Goddammit, we were so close<\/a>!<\/eM><\/p>\n

Also, some of you need this very badly. You’ll know who you are:<\/p>\n
