The Annual SF Site Reader’s Choice is now in session. Send in your emails for the best ten books released in the past year (in some way related to speculative fiction) and see the results come February-Marchish.

After you’ve done that, check out some incredibly cool links (some of which may have nothing to do with writing…but some just might).
The Writer’s Cave: Ever wonder where other writers get their work done? Here are a few pages with pictures of various authors’ offices, dens, and wherever else they get to business (including Jim Butcher and Laurell K. Hamilton).
Infiltration: An incredibly cool little zine that “offers a mix of the practice and theory of urban exploration in areas not designed for public usage.” In other words, how to get in and out of places you aren’t supposed to be in, like abandoned hospitals, subway networks, sewer systems, etc. Yes, a lot of the sites are in Toronto, but this “creeping” practice seems to go on all over the world, including NYC. Should it worry me to find this so…attractive?
Lastly, more books! Book reviews, to be precise. FantasyBookSpot.com provides constantly updated opinions and editorials on recent speculative fiction publications, so check it out if you are looking for something good to read, or know what to avoid spending money on.
That’s it for now. Return tomorrow for more words on your screen. I know you can’t get enough.
I see that smile.
