Signed Neil Gaiman poster up to auction on eBay
So after sitting on it for a month, hoping they’d get really nostalgic and want to see it framed, I’ve gone and listed the signed THE GRAVEYARD BOOK on eBay. |HAVE A LOOK|
After initially showing it off around the school my idea was to get it framed or at least laminated so their grubby little paws wouldn’t ruin it. But I was completely outvoted. Perhaps letting the kids vote on what to do with it was too democratic an impulse? Yep. It was a quasi-unanimous vote – with one kid thinking it’d be nice (at first) to have it in the classroom – but eventually the general impetus was to sell-sell-sell-it and split the proceeds among the group (that last part is my interpretation as they all pretty much agreed they each deserved the entire amount for themselves). It’s almost like a class full of Ferengi kids.
My hope is that they’ll at least use some of the $$ that come for buying more books.
If you’re a Gaiman collector with more of a sentimental side than my little ferengis go and bid HERE is the listing (it ends in 10 days).

Uvula Audio: Justice Inc. by Paul Ernst
James J. Campanella, has begun a new pulp fiction audiobook beginning in his podcast this week. Says Jim:
This week Uvula Audio premieres Justice, Inc. by Paul Ernst. This is the introductory book in the 1940’s pulp serial about Richard Benson “The Avenger.” Benson was a globe-trotting adventurer who made millions all over the world in risky and dangerous ventures. When he finally decides to settle down and retire, he loses his wife and daughter in a mysterious tragedy aboard an airliner where they disappear mid-flight. Benson goes mad and ends up in an institution. When he is released he has undergone several physical changes from the shock including his hair turning white and his face becoming an equally deathly pallor. From that day forward Benson vows vengeance upon the people who caused his tragic loss. This is a dark heroic story which reminds you of Doc Savage and yet is much more sober in tone. Some people have suggested that if Doc Savage was the basis of Superman, then Benson is very probably the basis of Batman and his vigilante justice. It was always made clear that Doc worked with the police – although Benson respects the police, it is always made clear that he does not feel they can do the job of justice as well as he can because their hands are tied by the system … sound familiar?
Yes it does! Here is part 1 |MP3| – the rest, when it releases, can be found at UvulaAudio.com

BBC Radio 4: Ursula K. Le Guin biographical documentary
Coming up on BBC R4
Ursula K. Le Guin looks back on her life and career…
Writer China Mieville talks to American science fiction writer Ursula Le Guin.
Le Guin was a trailblazer – writing in the 1960s, her series of books about the adventures of a boy wizard, Ged, included characters of every race and colour. Her fiction has been acutely concerned with politics, portraying worlds destroyed by environmental catastrophe that prefigured modern concerns about global warming, and societies without gender just as modern-day feminism began to take off.
Featuring contributions and tributes from Iain M. Banks and Margaret Atwood.
Airs Tuesday March 17th 2009 @ 11:30-12:00 BBC R4: Ursula Le Guin At 80
