Finch in the Guardian, Breaking Waves for Gulf Coast Relief, Jeff in Chair, Writing

Eric Brown's written a very nice review of Finch for The Guardian, which means I've now run the gauntlet of UK major newspapers and only lost a few toes, really, maybe a finger--although Tom Holt tried a gut shot with a bazooka, luckily turned into a glancing blow by all the other coverage.There's now a Gulf Coast charity anthology called Breaking Waves--more info here. Contributors include Ursula K. Le Guin, Vonda N. McIntyre, and David D. Levine. Consider picking it up. I haven't talked much about the situation lately, in part because it's still too nerve-wracking, too anger-inducing, and too frustrating.Finally, I was happy to find it took only two days of working on "Borne" in a coffee shop to find my balance again. I won't be going back to Facebook for awhile, but I will be blogging sporadically rather than going dark.
