Books to 27

26) Ghoul. Brian Keene. Mr. Keene is a lovely man I got the chance to meet and visit with at Hypericon. When I visited the local books store, it was a choice between this and one about giant worms. I opted for GHOUL, which is about exactly that: a ghoul who eats corpses and kidnaps women to propagate his species. But it's more than that. There are real monsters here and they aren't just the creature who is acting according to his nature. Gruesome and excellent. Not for the weak of stomach.
27) Tom Sawyer Abroad. Mark Twain. Tom, Huck and Jim get hijacked in an airship by a crazed inventor. They fly to Africa and have adventures with a sandstorm, a visit to the pyramids and the sphinx, and end up getting busted by Aunt Polly anyway. Entertaining but annoying. Tom is a pompous ass who considers himself superior to both Huck and Jim. Jim is every bad stereotype ever. (part of this IS the era) Only for Twain completists and steampunk fans.

It was a good mail day
Jul. 13th, 2009 12:21 pmBills true, but also a butt-load of BPAL and an EC check.
Glad Hands is officially our best seller. In the first four months, it's sold 28 more copies than Etarin has in a year and 5 mo. Made about $1800, which is about my monthly net.
There will be many BPAL posts in days to come.

BPAL: Jolly Roger
Jul. 13th, 2009 01:02 pmJolly Roger (Bewitching Brew) Sea spray with an undercurrent of leather, Bay Rum, and salty, dry woods.
Vial: Rum and wood very 80's aftershave.
Wet: ocean spray and wood
Drydown: Wood and rum and spray. Is giving me a headache, which intensifies every time I sniff
Dry: Sweetish, masculine and totally headache making. I like the smell but I can't wear it. Drat.
