I'm not blogging today: off to muck about, write, and not be a responsible adult. But there is a nifty interview with me at Amberkatz's Book Blog. (more free books!)

Things are just a bit nutty over at Bitten By Books, where the silliness will continue until midnight with--oo!--prizes and more strange replies to questions from lil' ol' me.

Also, I'm updating the main website, so there should be a complete Appearances schedule there (at least as far as I have one) soon.

I'm going to be doing a day-long interactive interview and Q&A at Bitten By Books tomorrow (Thursday, May 28). Five lucky people get an Amazon gift certificate and a puzzle! Be there or be... umm... haunted.

I got the first response to the misattribution question last night when the Coincidence post was only minutes old, but it wasn't quite on the mark. Although he came back with the right answer later, he was beaten to the punch by Zita H who had the whole story with page numbers by 9:30 last night.

Here's the winning reply for those of you who want to know:

"Wygan says he's going to play a whole side of Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (pp 252-253), but right before (Harper) leaves you say it's Led Zepplin (pg 257)."

Yes I can tell Floyd from Zep, but at some point in the draft, the song was changed and I missed the second attribution. So did my editor, copyeditor, and proofreader, which is unusual in the extreme. Say good-bye to the goof though, since it was corrected in the upcoming edition.

Who doesn't need free books for Christmas, hm? Robert Thompson at Fantasy Book Critic is giving away three sets of Simon R. Green's “Just Another Judgement Day” and “Mean Streets” by Jim Butcher, Simon R. Green, Tom Sniegoski and me! Neat stuff, eh? So go look at see how you can win one of these sets! Go, go!
