an early pressie (or two)

[adelaidesean]

Speaking, once again, of covers, a parcel arrived today containing some Russian editions. No dinosaurs this time, I'm sad to report, but the Orphans books (Echoes on the left and an omnibus of Orphans and Heirs on the right) have their own special qualities--for instance, algebraic graffiti on the bald chick's head. I love it!



Also, a reminder to those interested in reading my first new short story in six years: the Summer Reading Edition of the exceedingly respectable Bulletin, also featuring Lian Hearn, Tim Flannery, and many others, is out now.



If you look at the screen with a magnifying glass, you might just see my name on the cover.
