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 started readind The Once and Future King again sometime last week, after I located it, and left the other book I was reading in my office. I have decided to read it all the way through without getting distracted by other books (I'll see how well this goes). Anyway, I just finished "The Sword in the Stone" on my lunch break, and and got about as far as Morgause boiling the cat. It was grosser than I remembered. Can yours please not boil any cats?

Well, good, just so long as she just poisons people out of boredom, none of this boiling cats business.
