Limp pimping

This pimping is limp because I'm feeling limp. Yuck. Anyway.

The Machine of Death anthology, in which I have a story, is available now on Amazon.com, complete with a five-star review for what appears to be an entirely unrelated product.

It will also be released on the website as a free e-book (pdf, probably) and an audiobook, I believe, as well as the print book itself. But should you want to purchase a copy of the print book, or just have more money than you know what to do with (I know, hollow laugh), then consider buying it from Amazon on October 26th? I believe the idea is that if about a hundred people all buy it on the same day it gets to be, very briefly, a bestseller! Which would be fun. Anyway, this post explains it properly.

You don't have to buy it for my sake. Even if you actually hate me, there's people like Kate Beaton, that XKCD chap, Erin from A Dress A Day, the Dinosaur comics man, that Wondermark drawing bloke, and that Yahtzee games-type person. Loads of people like that. Including them. So, you know, it's likely to be a fun read.

Now, can anyone tell me why I've been feeling so achey and muzzy-headed and shivery and weird all week? Doctor? Anyone?

*falls over pathetically*

HOW AWESOME ARE YOU?!!!

I dunno. I am now sick. And it's a full moon. And I think Mercury may still be in retrograde. And it's becoming winter. And everything is going further and further to the right, politically. And people are shitheads.

BAH.

Come with me now to my underground bunker lined with otter-hair. We will sit in it and muse on the horrors of the world, and then sleep until at least April.

You do know that my ultimate dream is to hibernate through the winter, right? I am 100% serious about this.

We will create adjoining bed-wombs in our creaky old house out on Cape Cod, then.
