I took a break from the book-writing and started to read the latest Tim Powers novel. Mr. Powers, as noted before, is always worth reading. But I almost immediately had to stop.
My story’s heroine is a thirteen-year-old girl named Kristin Cross. His is a fourteen-year-old named Christina Rossetti. Most unsettling.
Now I must finish mine before taking up his again. Can’t take the chance that his also has Dracula…
World's Only Rational Man 
No penguins? That’s racist.
Christina Rossetti was also a real person. She was a Victorian poet who still has a good rep. and was connected with the Pre-Raphaelite painters, I guess especially through her brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
It’s the same character, then. Powers is doing more historical fiction.
Wait, Edo’s back? When did that happen? For that matter, how did it happen?
I have always been here.
