I guess the early works of Rafael Sabatini finally lapsed into the public domain. Warner Brothers (Warner Brothers!) has decided the time is ripe to update Captain Blood, the greatest pirate movie of the 20th century, by setting it in outer space. Variety has the details. Pardon me, I need to commit harikari now…

Desperation is the mother of invention in this house.
I was trying to line up the August blogs I owe to blog sites other than my own. The goal was to get it all over with now, so I’d have more time to write next month. They were all playing nicely except my August 22 Samhain blog. Given the date, I’d be a fool not do something related to DragonCon, but what? The program schedules are almost never finalized until the week before Labor Day, and I was pretty sure I’ve written everything there is to write about the con.
Should I do something about the balls? The Masquerade? The guests? My costume changes?
Then it hit me: Sixteen Ways DragonCon Is Like a Regency Country House Party.
The weird thing is, it works.
‘Til later…

Late Friday night I wrote a long post about my adventures at RWA Nationals and posted it everyplace except here. The omission was by no means intentional. Unfortunately, the web host was down. 
The short version is I had a fabulous time. No, I didn’t go to the general meeting or deal with any of the other nonsense–which is probably why I had a fabulous time. If you want to know the rest, including who danced with Nora at the Harlequin Ball, read it here.
Enjoy!
