Happy Valentine’s day, people! My most valentiney thing today is green tea with rose petals, but  who knows, maybe the pub quiz this evening will be themed 🙂 Oh, and I’m working on Space Romance, so that’s pretty relevant.

Publishing: Astatalk have dropped their fiction board (where someone had uploaded Tease, at one point!). Rumour has it the FBI had a ‘friendly’ word with them.

Interest-Piquing: The weird world of book packaging. Turns out one company, Alloy, is responsible for most the more famous packaged books (e.g. Sweet Valley High). Everyone in that article is very insistent they’re happy with the company and the decisions being made (and the amount they’re paid), aren’t they?

InsPiring: Search is on for the ninth planet. Sorry, Pluto, you still don’t cut it.

Procrastination: The five worst valentine geek gifts

Don’t forget, comment on this post by the end of the month to be in with a chance to win 21 Hammer Horror films.
