The peeves are restless
You know I said I had nil publications last year?
Well, I went to the website of the society in whose journal an article by moi was, I thought, at the very least forthcoming, and find that the relevant issue appears to have been published.
I was not informed and have not (yet) received author's copies.
We feel this is Not Good Enough, srsly.

Also, possibly a fractitious niggle rather than a full-blown peeve, an email from Amazon touting The Mitford Murders, a concept which had me shrieking, but not in the good way.
Will this trend of sticking RL people into murder mysteries never end?
We also note that this one apparently involves an actual Unsolved True Crime.
Not really sure I'd want Mitfords in my mysteries or vikky-verky. Though it looks as though at least this predates the whole Fascism thing - set just after WW1.
Have a vague recollection of one of those old New Statesman competitions that was 'Unlikely Authorial Collaborations', and an entry involving A Christie and N Mitford, which was entertaining as a snippet but not sure that this is a thing that would sustain a booklength narrative...
