I have a guest post over at SFFChat as part of their Hannukah 8-day week of guest posts for writers of sff who are also Jewish.

Check it out, if you're interested in a very little bit about world building (and the name Barahal), and also check it out because you can enter to win a copy of Cold Magic.

All the posts in this miniseries are interesting. I particularly enjoyed this one by fantasy writer Ari Marmell, who writes mostly secondary world fantasy, especially since it appeared the day after David Brin wrote about "the preference of Jewish SF&F authors for science fiction over fantasy... and their near complete absence from heroic or "elfish" genres". I hope Ari is glad to know that he (and so many others) is part of a near complete absence.

My spawn has a new blog about printmaking and art and the ruminations of her exceedingly peculiar mind (although I say that with the greatest affection and pride).


Finally, 2,300 year old temple discovered at Thmuis (Delta region, Egypt), built by Ptolomy II Philadelphius. One of the co-directors at this dig is my spouse.
