I received a call from Bookazine this afternoon. They're a major wholesaler in the bookselling industry. Ron Hanby has passed away. In the late 90s I worked for them as a senior buyer (mostly religious books as well as a few mainstream publishers like Chronicle and St. Martins). I was in the closet because my boss, a kind woman, happened to be an evangelical and would never have hired a gay man to help her with Christian titles. And that's how I met Ron.

Dionysia Bobolis, Nicodemus Frobisher, Lionel Moon, June Calderwood and Inigo Sandoval, each for various reasons, have a vested interest in seeing the school well-quartered when it...

I received my full_moon_swaps from silverflight today when I got home. Fate was kind to give it to me on the afternoon I'd most have need of it this week, and that makes me extra grateful for my box tonight. Actually it wasn't just like this when I opened it.

Do you know what this dive needs? A daily feature. A point of interest, even if it only amuses me. It would give me an excuse to come up here more and post. And give you guys a chance for some interaction. Here is my idea. The Afternoon Shuffle. Every afternoon at three, I will put Bad Wolf (aka: my iPod) on shuffle and write down the first five songs. To post later of course. If one of the songs makes you think of an event in your life, or if you just want to laugh at my taste in music, I want...
