The rains came today, and it seems they will stay a while. I was beginning to worry about wildfires. Today's high was only 82.9F, with a heat index of 89F. Hardly needed the AC, except to curb the humidity.
I spent the morning line-editing "Untitled 47," the put together Sirenia Digest 218, which will go out tomorrow morning. I also signed a contract for a forthcoming Italian translation of The Drowning Girl: A Memoir, which will make the eigth foreign translation (not counting the fact there are two different French translations). And I got in some time with the Bashi. That was work today.
Last night and tonight we got through the first season of The Old Man, with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow, quite a good spy thing. The afternoon's film was Joss Whedon's Serenity (2005).
I finished reading Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm.
What else? Well, I remind you to check out our sale on Vile Affections, my 2021 short-fiction collection (my eighteenth) from Subterranean Press. See photo below. We're offering eleven copies for only $30 apiece, and that $15 off the publication price. Only eleven copies, and we've already sold five of them.
So, hop on over to the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop and snap one up. Yes, I will sign and personalize these upon the buyer's request. The money goes to pay an unexpected bill, so thanks.
Later Tater Beans,
Aunt Beast
