After the cut...things move like clockwork!

The King of Zor, he blogged for a war, and the King of Zam reposted

Sunday catchup time! First, we've been forgetting to mention this, but this coming weekend, August 14-16, is the annual eFestival of Worlds, an online book fair and convention! We're still waiting on word about a planned Q&A session, but on Sunday at 11:00 AM Pacific / 2:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM CET, you can attend the "Heroes vs. Villains" panel. Three heroes and three villains, answering questions "Family Feud" style, and Michiko will be there, dazzling the other heroes with her brilliance and baffling the villains with her cuteness and snark! Get more info here. More after the cut!

We've been promoting Awakened, the first book in the Auralight Codex series, written by Shei Darksbane with Darksbane Books. The release date for the second book, Hunted, has been announced, and it's this coming Friday, March 14! We'll update you when the book is actually released, but you can find out more about the series at the Darksbane Books web site or at Shei's Amazon author page.

The Doubleclicks are about to release their new CD! President Snakes will be available to buy and download this Tuesday, August 11! Get more info at their web site.

The fourth chapter of Melissa Pagluica's enchanting webcomic Above The Clouds has just started! You can jump in with the current page or read the story from the beginning at the web site.

And finally, I am sweetly and politely persuaded to add one more figure to my Disney Infinity want list:

Willow alert!

No, it's not what happens on the Enterprise when they run into the Space Cats. We mentioned earlier this month that Willow and her friends in Collectif Pin Up were at the Geekopolis con in Paris last weekend, but they have another con appearance this weekend! They'll be at Epitanime, in Le Kremlin-Bicêtre just outside of Paris. There'll be lots of anime-related panels and vendors there as well, so if you're in the area (or have the money to splurge on a last-second plane ticket), drop on by! More info here.

Big Wow! report

First, I should mention that this is apparently the last Big Wow convention. It's been acquired by a group that includes comic writer Stan Lee and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and is being renamed the Silicon Vally Comic Con. Here's hoping they don't screw things up too much. More after the cut.
