Okay, so this is disturbing.

So I'm in the bathroom this morning trying to make my hair cooperate, when I touch my scalp behind my left ear.

And I think, "Ouch! That hurts!"

There is an area of the back of my skull behind my ear roughly the same diameter as a tennis ball that is tender and angry. I cannot, for the life of me, think of why that might be.

Have I been sapped? Retconned? Abducted by aliens? I've got no missing time except for that bit where I used my night off to do my taxes, and that's not so much missing as it is kind of sad.

What gives, skull?

Pyr opens up to unagented novel subs

Just caught via Twitter, Pyr, a SF/F imprint for Prometheus Books, has just opened up their submissions process a bit. They’re currently accepting unagented manuscripts in certain subgenres. From their announcement:

Unagented submissions: Email submissions ONLY—and ONLY in the subgenres of epic fantasy, sword & sorcery, and contemporary/urban fantasy. No horror, science fiction, or slipstream. Only full manuscripts accepted—no partials or outlines.

Get on it, people.
