Being Sick, Blogging and Buying Books

   So pretty much the day after the luminous Mrs. V. started recovering from a week+ bout of flu-like symptoms, I woke up with a fever.  This is the second time I've been sick in the past few months which really stinks.
  Fortunately, I didn't feel crappy until after I got my weekly Black Gate post written.  It's the December short story roundup. Only three stories to review but I pretty much like all of them. Some clever ideas, particularly in Fraser Sherman's "I Think Therefore I Die" and decent writing in all three. Check 'em out.
   My writing music was an odd mix of Derek Trucks, Kiss, and seventies Kinks.




  I finished spending my Christmas gift certificates over at Amazon and picked up a nice batch of stuff.  Crime, horror, neo-pulp and swords & sorcery.  Oh, and I did get my copy of Pilgrim's Progress.
