Libriomancer Giveaway and Other Stuff
I think this exchange is rather telling about my writing. What it tells … well, that’s another matter entirely.
From Lynn Flewelling’s LJ: Today’s best typo – He took his position beside the table and wove a peeing spell on the air.
My response: I actually wrote about a spell like that in one of the princess books.

Speaking of Lynn, her tenth book Casket of Souls [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy] came out yesterday. Happy book week!!!
#
There are 20 copies of Libriomancer [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy] up for grabs over at Goodreads. This one is limited to U.S. residents only, but I’ll run a giveaway of my own soon, and will open that one up worldwide.

Finally, here are two more moon pics. I got a mount that attaches to the eyepiece of my telescope and — after a few frustrating nights of trying to figure out how to get everything lined up — holds the digital camera steady. I haven’t managed to get any planetary pictures this way yet, but I really like the moon shots.
You can click the pics for larger versions, or go to my Flickr page.

That daylight moon photo is really cool. I want to turn it into a book cover. (I have no idea what the book it would cover would be, I just think it would make an awesome cover.)

Maybe if I ever publish a collection of blog posts I could use it for that? Only then I’d be tempted to title the collection something like “JIM MOONS YOU ALL!” which might not work…

Sherwood Smith’s Inda books feature a peeing spell, or rather a magically-teleporting-the-pee-away-so-you-don’t-have-to spell. Reading that for the first time was one of those moments when you wonder why everyone in every universe that has magic but not plumbing doesn’t do the same.

I knew there was a reason I liked Sherwood so much!

If you put one of your trademarked “my behind – let me show you it” photos on the back that would be hilarious.

I owe you odd thanks. The Libriomancer book description reminded me to look for a movie I enjoyed (The Librarian: Quest for the Spear) and so turns out they made 2 more movies. They have next to nothing to do with your book, but you reminded me of them so thanks.

I loved Quest for the Spear. I was unimpressed with the second movie, but the third was fun.
