GRRM interview in AFTERBURN

A couple of good news items:

expect as many as 12 Dunk & Egg novellas (!!)

and

Afterburn SF: Mine too! I have to ask this. Without giving anything away, can we expect him to meet up with Daenerys at some point?

George R. R. Martin: Yeah, I think you could probably count on that.

New Quote Book Captures Hillary Clinton in Her Own Words

“Sometimes a politician is her own worst enemy,” writes Dick Morris in the book’s foreword. “She said she always rooted for the New York Yankees when she decided to run for Senate in New York, but during the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1996, she said she was a Chicago Cubs fan, as a native of that city.”

Among the many gems in the book are some choice statements by Hillary on the Secret Service:

“[We have nothing but praise for their courage, integrity and professionalism, and we feel lucky to remain friends with many of the agents who protected us.”

“If you want to remain on this detail, get your a** over here and grab those bags.” (To an agent who wanted to keep his hands free in case of a security threat.)

Hatchet job. Interesting that Morris hates Hillary enough to write the foreword for this random author.
