Happy New Year!

[altariel]

We are back from our Christmas visit to K&J&R where we ate and drank and were merry, saw the wonderful and brilliant toft_froggy, played many excellent games, including hide and seek with a tiny person and the highly addictive Zeus on the Loose, and OF COURSE watched Ghost Watch.

While I was away, the cover art to The Never-Ending Sacrifice was released: article about 2009/2010 Trek releases here or cut straight to big image here. I think it's smashing.

Last year I wrote a novel and a short story or two, read many books and essays, became a godmother, and I have landed in 2009 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Today I'm going to do the washing, finish Anne Enright's The Gathering, make a planetarium, and perhaps catch up on some email. Happy New Year to you all, may your eyes too be bright and your tails extremely bushy.

Happy new year!

Well, so far, I'm not bright-eyed - sleeplessness will do that, I guess. But I think I can still manage bushy-tailed until the frostbite sets in next week. ;-)

The cover art makes me think, weirdly, of Dune. I think it's the tiny humanoid figure against the massive and towering structure/entity, both of them set off against a fairly flat landscape.

Happy New Year to you and the mister. I hope the celebrations and company were good.

I must have missed the clues. Whenever you spoke of Never-Ending Sacrifice, I foolishly thought it was a Tolkien Fan Fic epic, which I guessed was about Faramir. Seriously.

Well, duh!

Love the cover art and the choice of topic. I am hoping to see it in my local grocery store book isle; the true mark of success.

Happy New Year to you and the family, Mike.

I love that you thought this was a Faramir story! The title would certainly suit. Keep watching those supermarket shelves and let me know if you see it :-)

Belated Happy New Year! I've been considerably less bright-eyed and bushy-tailed since that post, that's for sure. Today's my first day of feeling semi-human again. Not helped by a cold snap that has kept temperatures close to what you're getting.

Yes, I can see what you mean about Dune. Small person, big society.
