Hey geeks! A bunch of people asked where to purchase signed copies of Bea Wolf. You can get them here:
Literary fun fact:
When Paradise Lost was first released in 1667, it was reasonably popular, but got a number of complaints that it "rhymes not." So, by the 1674 edition, it came with a note at the beginning aggressively talking shit about rhymed verse, calling it "the invention of a barbarous age, to set off wretched matter and lame meter..."

@daviwil Meanwhile, no snow in Paris since years really.
@daviwil Still, it's kind of unreal. π
@natharari That was my understanding. Sometimes understanding does not match reality!
@daviwil I thought it was illegal to snow where you are! π

@Gracchus They look like they're up to no good! π
Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.
