For those who voted in the Goodreads Choice Awards (and a huge thank you! for those who voted for Saltation) — the results are in!  Let’s give the deserving winner a big round of applause!

Also!  Carousel Tides by Sharon Lee, published by Baen Books, and Halfling Moon (Adventures in the Liaden Universe® #16), by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, published by SRM Publisher, Ltd.,  hit Uncle Hugo’s Bestseller List for December

Not only that!  Four Lee and Miller titles placed in Uncle Hugo’s top 50 bestsellers of 2010Fledgling, Saltation, Mouse and Dragon, and Halfling Moon.

Man, that’s a lotta lists.  That’s a lotta chapbooks.  Motor on, Number 16; you are a wonder and a marvel.

In other news, the day-job was a zoo, and tomorrow looking like more of the same, but with the addition of a first-thing-in-the-morning visit with the dentist.

Eep.

“Excellent. You have nothing to fear from your delm,” came the soft voice. “When you speak to the delm, you speak to Korval Entire — which is nothing more frightening than speaking with your kin. Or yourself.”

White nose disease was imported somehow from Europe, so I gather. And just as when Europeans began arriving on this continent in droves after 1492, so to did the native humans suffer from diseases the Europeans had developed immunities to, over many centuries. Many bird species recently got hit with a similar situation and some haven't recovered yet: I haven't heard a Mockingbird around her in several years, rock doves are still absent, nighthawks aren't dive-bombing me in the early evenings. The ring-neck doves, cardinals and obnoxious Blue Jays seem to be recovering, but I haven't seen hundreds of thousands of migrating Canada Geese flying over us, filling the skies in years. Likely the bat's white nose disease will wipe out or nearly decimate certain varieties of bats, but hopefully not all. We need bats in our ecology, just as we need the domestic honey-bee, also under threat because of global economic factors.
