It’s official ladies and gents, Princeless is an Eisner nominee! Not only that, we’re nominated in two different categories: Best Single Issue and Best Publication for Kids (8-12).
Honestly, I had hoped for the best, but just getting nominated for an Eisner was beyond my wildest expectations.

Six audiobooks this month, down from eight last month, this time heavily skewed toward sf (5) over fantasy (1):
REVIEWS:

Happy Birthday for yesterday, Chip.
