Happy birthday to the wonderful maidoforange! May you have a terrific day today and many more to come, my friend!

A few notes...

* This past week, The Telegraph ran an interesting article on one of my favorite authors, Daphne du Maurier. Read "The Real Ghost of Manderley" here. An excerpt from the new novel about her, Daphne by Justine Picardie, is here* In

Aww :( I'm very sorry to hear of her passing as well. Uhura's Song is one of my absolute favorite novels.

[eldritchhobbit]

It's sad, isn't it? I'm glad to hear you liked Uhura's Song, too.

Thanks, as always for the cool links:)

[eldritchhobbit]

You're most welcome! :)

Wow, I am sorry to hear about Janet Kagan, too.

How cool that Neil Gaiman is sharing so generously!

Love the quote today!

[eldritchhobbit]

I'm so glad you like the quote! It is great of Gaiman, isn't it?

Janet Kagan will be missed.

Aw, that's sad about Janet Kagan. "Uhura's Song" is one of my favorite Star Trek novels. It was so much better done than so many of the early ones. (I swear, when I first started buying ST books I was SCARED by some of the actually-got-published stuff that was out there. It would make ff.net look professional! And the fact that I was ten or eleven at the time, and still noticed how bad it was? That's saying something.)

[eldritchhobbit]

Yes, yes, yes! I remember my experience with Uhura's Song the same way. I reread that one and Diane Duane's The Wounded Sky until they nearly fell apart.

Speaking of Neil Gaiman, here are some words he has for The Graveyard Book.
