Away and Contest notice

By the time you read this I will be somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.  Hopefully the waves won't get to me and I'll be having a blast.  There will still be plenty going on here for the next week although I won't be quick on replies to e-mail or comments here. I've got a great guest post from Ekaterina Sedia coming up and a neat little giveaway for Brent Weeks and Greg Bear fans out there.  Also, Harry over at Temple Library Reviews has a great contest going on for a bookcase.  Go on and stop by because you know those piles of books would look nicer on that beautiful shelf.
