The new cover for the reprint of Alchemy of Stone, coming in November 2009. Via Ekaterina Sedia AKA squirrel_monkey. Very different from the previous cover (which you can see here).
There’s a new “DVD Extra” over on the Shadow Unit site. Via Elizabeth Bear AKA matociquala, who spent quite a lot of yesterday canoeing from one end of Hartford to the other – underground…. those who have read Hammered

Cherie Priest reports on her recent book sale for her “adventure novel about a neurotic vampire/thief and her wealthy blind client, now with Bonus! Cuban drag queen and military intrigue.”
