There's a new Laurel K. Hamilton book, ``Seduced by Moonlight''.
``She's been seduced by everything else, why not?''-BTS
The warning on the back of the flyer now admits that there is ``lots
and lots of explicit sex'' in the book--SFBC, at least, feels
compelled to admit that they're publishing porn.
``It gives me hope that I may someday get published, as there is
writing out there worse than mine''-MHG
The Sci-Fi Marathon is this weekend, and we have a slide!

ALGOL BING!
KHA's laptop came back repaired from Apple in 3 days, because, though they told her it was usually not covered under warranty, being willing to yell at people will make them do things for you.

``Ok''
An imagined conversation':
