If you need to contact me by email in the next 24hours try jonathan(dot)strahan(at)gmail(dot)com. I’ll be back to the usual address as soon as it’s reliable again, but I’ll get this in the meantime.

From what I can tell, it looks like none of the emails sent from my home address in the past eighteen hours or so have actually made it to the real world. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. I’m trying to get it corrected. In the meantime, if you need to get in touch with me urgently I have the other address you can use. If not, I will get to you as soon as I can.

It’s public. My pal Jeff VanderMeer, and his lovely wife Ann, are to co-edit an anthology of original pirate stories for Night Shade Books. Honestly, I’ve not envied Jeff any of his editing projects until this one. This one look’s like fun. Knowing how good Jeff and Ann are as editors, and the kind of books Night Shade publish, I think this is going to be fantastic. Apparently it’s coming out in late 2007, which means we might see it for the New York World Fantasy. I think I can see a theme-party coming on. Cool.

Looks like I might have the spam problem fixed, so comments should be back.

John Scalzi was stuck at home with nothing much else to do, so he ranked the Top 50 Personal Blogs in Science Fiction. Coode Street, to my great surprise, came in at #36, which is cool, complimentary, and also fiendishly clever of Scalzi (expect to see Whatever move up as the other 49 blogs point to him ). Still, if we’re at #36, I guess there’ll have to be content again. Gah.
