Hey, Your Nose is on Fire!

The Terebinth Story Archive      Lamont's so magnanimous! Or maybe that should be ":ignoramus"...      And in case anyone's interested in another recent poem of mine, " All Work and No Play " is up for free reading at Abyss & Apex . It's also been nominated for the Science-fiction and Fantasy Poetry's Association's Rhysling Award in the "long" category. And my short-story-disguised-as-a-poetry-collection, " Two Strikes and I'm Out ," has been nominated for SFPA's Elgin Award in the "chapbook" category . So much going on!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Some people do have really loud eyes.

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      D'you s'ppose it counts as paranoia when you hide out inside an asteroid for millions of years just in case anyone might be looking for you? Yeah, I reckon so...

They're both from:      The Science-fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association , so one would be correct in thinking that they're both for poetry.      The first is a nomination in the "long" category of the Rhysling Awards for my poem " What Water Says ," published on the Eternal Haunted Summer website back in December. And the second is a nomination in the "full-length book" category of the Elgin Awards for my short-story-disguised-as-a-collection-of-poems, " Two Strikes and I'm Out " that came out from Island of Wak-Wak last summer.      So far, only the Rhysling nomination is showing on their website if you page down to the bottom of the list of finalists. But I assume the Elgin Award one will show up eventually on their page devoted to those lists . We'll all find out together!                     ...

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      We first learned that the Devil's nickname was Zebulon - or at least that the Nulla Lucis called him Zebulon - way back near the beginning of our 24th storyline, " A Long, Long Trail A-Winding ." We didn't get an explanation of what the name referenced until much later, near the middle of the final actual comic in our series here, storyline #114, " A Tickle in the Throat ." And now we get a little talk about it again!

The Terebinth Story Archive      It's been over nine months since page 1.842 and Mrs. Pell's previous ballade. In case people aren't fanatically keeping track of this stuff...
