Nathan Bransford's procrastination subforum has a popular thread just like this. It's a friendly place where your spam can be cherished and celebrated.

Let's Talk About Bios, Baby. Let's Talk About You and Me.

Okay, your turn.

Today I cover the news that everyone in the UK is talking about: Ed Victor, one of the leading UK agents, has just launched his own publishing company.

Good blog, by the way.

I've posted lots of photos on my blog from my 9-events-in-10-days east coast book tour, including ones from the Malice Domestic conference and the festival of mystery and of me poised with hammer in hand about to crack into a plate of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. Yum! Also, author Dorothy St. James will be guest-posting tomorrow. Please stop by!
