In the news this morning
io9.com has reviewed The Kobold Guide to Worldbuilding. The review includes a legitimate criticism on the lack of women in the table of contents. As the_monkey_king says, "Only one female author, though we did try to get more women to discuss their take on worldbuilding." It is otherwise an excellent review. Delighted to see it get the coverage.
Via Twitter, we have learned that Night Shade Books is on the verge of selling its assets "to a larger publisher." Since the announcement, I have learned one more detail from Jeremy Lassen himself, but it is not my news to share so I won't. In fact, I have a lot of thoughts about this news that I'm not going to share. This is me being discreet. Over on Facebook, Jeff VanderMeer has lots more to say about it if you're interested and you're friends with him over there. All I will say is that I wish Jeremy and the team well.
We also learn this morning that author Ian M Banks has terminal cancer and that film critic Roger Ebert's cancer has returned. Fuck cancer. Fuck it.
