good people got a Farscape jones, if you notice*
(1) On the ARC giveaway: contest closes June 20; 137 people have entered thus far. Information about how to get hold of an Advance Reading Copy of Fire Along the Sky is here, and the actual contest is to be found in the right hand column under PICK A DOOR, ANY DOOR. Hint: it's the middle door. Please note if you're getting an error message about empty fields, you actually have to put something in the 'comments' section. Also, if you've tried repeatedly and without success, email me the answers to all the questions and I'll do the paperwork for you. So to speak.
(2) Really, really good news: Farscape really really really is coming back. Peacekeeper Wars (a four hour miniseries) isn't a figment of my imagination. To prove it, there's a big article in next week's TV Guide with many wonderful photos; besides that, there are promotional pix all over the various Farscape websites. And it looks (brace yourself for repetition, I can't help myself) really really good. Of course, the SciFi channel (boo, hiss) which is going to air this after all (and what took them so long, I want to know) is refusing to actually say when it's going to air, except "in the fall". But hopefully there will be lots of promotional material to keep me going until then. I am going to be good and not snurch any of the pix to post here; instead here's the link to Farscape World's more official offering (thanks as ever to Robyn, queen keeper of the FS links).
*apologies to Toni Cade Bambara
**what can I say? lately there's an overflow of drama in this household, where the fifteen year old comes down the stairs in the early morning at full wail: my life is a disaster! I'm might as well crawl away into a corner and die! mama, do we have any toaster strudel?
