Insightful post by Vox Day on "What Men Read" or, more precisely, what boys read. What is funny is that, when I was younger, I would not have thought it was insightful.

Swan Knight's Son, the first of the three books of Green Knight's Squire, which is the first of four Tales of Moths and Cobwebs, has been released.

For years, I decribed the cover I would like to see for Prospero Lost: Miranda in her old-fashioned green dress and Mab in his trenchcoat and fedora with his trusty lead pipe walking down the streets of Chicago with a lightningbolt shaped like a unicorn in the background. My amazing cover artist, Dan Lawlis, brought it…
Today's post from the merry folks over at Tempest In A Teardrop. Rachel: "Do look, Sigrfried! We're famous." Siggy, nonchalant: "I've always been famous. I'm Sigfried the Dragonslayer. But how nice for you." (Note: it was asked whether Sigfried was a famous orphan to make him like another well-known famous orphan with magic. The…
