The House had succumbed, and nothing would ever be the same. Where to Buy Subterranea…

…est Novella, “In Blue Lily’s Wake” and “Three Cups of Grief, by Starlight” under Best Short Story. That list also has a lot of my friends–congrats to everyone on it!) And here’s some quotes from the Locus summation of 2015: “[a novel] which featured some of the most striking and memorable fantasy settings of the year, Aliette de Bodard’s House of Shattered Wings, with its ruined Paris haunted by fallen angels” Gary K Wolfe “Aliette de Bodard deliv…

…zza dough (flour, yeast, kneading), and pizza toppings, and made different combinations that we ended up eating afterwards. Yum. It’s, of course, hopeless to hope to cover the full range of dim sum making in a single 3-hour course, so I went with Margot Zhang’s course on making bao (buns which came down to Vietnam in a slightly different, fluffier version, bánh bao). She does group courses (4 people at a time), but alas, I couldn’t make it to one…
…ews The House of Shattered Wings I loved The House of Shattered Wings. I found it immersive, delicious, and full of beautiful visuals. Definitely one I recommend. -James Nicoll reviews Harbinger of the Storm (with new spiffy cover!) Acatl’s problem is working out which of the dozens of competing schemes is causing the current crisis. (I love this quote. It’s like my idea of court plotting in a nutshell :p) And tonight I’m off to Margot Zhang’s bao…
Been remiss in posting these, but very happy to reveal the new look for Obsidian and Blood. The ebooks will be sold through JABberwocky: they’re currently trickling their way through the system (I spotted them at Amazon and Kobo, but other retailers don’t yet have them).

(work continues apace on The House of Binding Thorns aka “that %%% sequel”. Thanks to a very sympathetic…
