writerly queries

1) Any professional YA authors out there who have the time and energy to write an essay on Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series and/or Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance trilogy?  Borders are commissioning a couple of anthologies of critical essays aimed at young readers.  The deadlines are quite soon (the Riordan essays are due 1 Dec 07); pay is $500 plus royalties for a 3000-5000 word essay.  If you're interested let me know and I'll pass your details on to the Powers That Be.

2) Anyone know of an agent who deals with manga or graphic novels in general?  IT'S FOR A FRIEND, HONEST.  Well actually it's for my husband, whose company is considering turning a game into a graphic novel.

that's it for the moment

I read it about a million times in my teens, but I've mostly forgotten it now--along with lots of salient facts that I thought I'd NEVER forget, like the color of Mordred's hair

I usually have no patience for Lancelot and Guenevere, but I really liked them in it. It's possible that my most recent distraction is because while I was reading it and made some comment about that, someone foisted the Fionavar Tapestry into my lap.
