I just posted the first four chapters of my novel THE KINSHIP on Authonomy, a social networking web site for readers, writers, and Harper Collins editors. The Top Five books will be reviewed by Harper Collins editors and a select few will be offered publishing contracts. Three contracts have already been offered. Check out my book here and if you like, please vote for me by clicking on "back the book."

I just wanted to point out that frequent Whatever commenter Shawn Powers is selling Hot Blogger 2009 calendars at his blog, where he stars as Mr. November. If he sells enough of them, he's offered to a) donate his share of the proceeds to Heifer International, and b) make a video for us wherein he dances like a cow. I think we need to see this, so everyone should go there and buy a calendar. :D

Primary pimp: I’m an aspiring writer with a modicum of success. I took part in a mentorship program through the Speculative Literature Foundation, and found it very helpful. Find out more at http://www.speculativeliterature.org/Programs/Mentorship.php Incidentally, John was our mentor – Thanks, John!

Secondary pimp: I just started my own blog at http://www.matthewkirby.com/kirbside

Currently I have an advent calendar thing going on, where I dug up all the online (free or pay) SF/F holiday fiction I could get my hands on. Although I focus on the Kindle, to tell the truth it's become more or less a free fiction online bonanza. If it's not small ebooks or little chunks of free stories that are your fancy, there's always the gigantic ebook and huge free story of Journey to the West, adapted from a Creative Commons work with the appropriate license that allows one to remix. Two versions, Mobipocket for the Kindle, and ePub for Sony reader (and of course, anything that can read Mobipocket or ePub).

Jason Erik Lundberg and the talented mob over at Living Jacket have put together a cool book trailer for A Field Guide to Surreal Botany. Suits the contents perfectly, I reckon.

I shall pimp the graphic story HERO, by Hwei Lin Lim – it’s the one that I’m pretending is my website, so I don’t even have to fuss with HTML to neaten things up; y’all can just click on my name.

One of my friends from college (a librarian) is starting a new blog where she’ll be posting daily about her progress through those 30-day self-help books. It’s on Blogger and sounds like it should be fascinating.
