The Last Unicorn

It was my favorite movie when I was a kid. When I got older, it became one of my favorite books.

Little '80s Me is rather fascinated by this recent synth-tastic cover of the movie's theme song. She's also still ready to cry every time the song gets to the "I'm alive!" part.

A Decent Start

I suppose that this is a decent way to start the new year. Not too long ago, I got word that one of my stories was accepted for publication in the digital magazine Beyond Science Fiction. Yesterday, I got word that the issue containing my story has been published. Yep, those all were good words to read.

If that includes you, then I hope that you're on your way to a 2015 in which you're cursing more out of a feeling of exuberance than a feeling of frustration, because we all deserve at least that kind of joy.

So happy effing New Year, eh?
