Link o' the Day: my most recent posting at Charge of the Write Brigade
SFWA recently reported the passing of author David Eddings whose work I'd been a fan of for since the very beginning of his fantasy-writing career. I'm thinking I'll be writing up a long piece on his for tomorrow's entry at Forces Of Geek describing my long history with his books, impressions both general and specific, and an appreciation.
There is a surprising absence of any official or up-to-date pages on David Eddings' work. Granted, his most recent books were disappointing to most readers (including myself), but his earlier works resonated so much that I'm surprised there's not more of a web presence. Still, I wanted to have some kind of Eddings link today, so I found a 2006 interview with David Eddings at sffworld.com.
For no particular reason, I'm going to mention how much I enjoy performances by actor Edward Everett Horton. You'd probably recognize him most as the narrator for the "Fractured Fairytales" segment on the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, the medicine man on F Troop or Dr. Witherspoon in Frank Capra's production of Arsenic and Old Lace. There's just something about his voice I've always liked--him and William Powell. People don't talk like that anymore and it's a shame.
And really... just how cool was Peter Lorre? Very cool
-=-=-=-=-
Work is pretty much on schedule. Keeping things together. I have a couple of TumbleTap projects to finish so we can get them done and out in time for the San Diego ComicCon. I'm hoping to take care of some of that today. And I'd like to get the okays on sending Van Alexander off to the printer. Work continues on Gaynor and Raffel. Then tackling the Dead End Kids. I should be getting some comp copies in soon from the publisher of some of the books I've been working on recently. Always a good thing to have for the old collection.
All in all, it's nose to the grindstone. Nothing new or exciting to report.

Today's link goes to my most recent posting at Charge of the Write Brigade in which I discuss writing outside one's own gender and ethnicity.
Enjoy!
