Hup.
Hoo.
Urk.
Just working/travelling/living. And meeting truly exciting people. Two films and a book and a comics series to write, all due yesterday, and another book and art project to work on, so the idea of MORE typing is killing. But yet again, I resolve to try.
A comic I’ve been hugely excited about working on (because I pretty much worship my co-writer) is coming out soon. As is another Scholastic book of short stories, Witches and Wizards, which looks like great fun.
Also, Indrajit Hazra’s book is out. Go buy. And Rimi B. Chatterjee’s novel City of Love is launched at the Attic today, 630 pm. See you there.
Saurav Mohapatra, the resident mad scientist of Massachusets, writes in to direct my attention and yours to the Eagle Awards nominations. India Authentic, which he’s written, is already up for best new comic. So go there, vote for him, or nominate your own - it’s a fun award, where you add to the list of finalists by just picking things you like. The Oscars should work this way too.
ComicBookResources brings you the news of the Virgin/Top Cow crossover event in which Witchblade and Devi get together to kick some demonic posterior. I’m writing the Virgin issue, the second one that concludes the story. Really looking forward to the books; not only will it be great fun working with Mukesh Singh again, but Ron Marz is writing the Top Cow issue.
Zig has the juice on the seamy underbelly of the Kitab Litfest. Enjoy.
Kala Ghoda was wonderful, by the way.
…here’s some stuff to distract you and make things worse.
Alan Moore (God) on porn.
Kassia Kroszer on the future of publishing via The Mumpsimus.
Yes, I know how you feel.
Another lifelong ambition realised, muhahaha - a mention in Rich Johnston’s Lying in the Gutters column, the greatest column in the comics universe. Many thanks to the Mystery Man who told me about this - his identity will be revealed when confidentiality clauses permit 
Will put these up in the appropriate sections at some stage, but here are an interview with Jai Arjun Singh in Business Standard, the CNNIBN report on the Delhi launch and a review in Mint.
And a mention in HT books. And the Virgin Comics blogpost on Tall Tales of Vishnu Sharma, and a preview
Update: Deccan Herald review
Update: Unwaba reviewed in Outlook

In which you come and sample the wonders of the Kala Ghoda Literary Festival, watch hastily-home-made videos celebrating the fantasy genre and films that have found their way into my books, and gaze in wonder at author Sonia Faleiro as she has a conversation with me.
So do come, bring your friends, and check this page closer to the day for updates.
There you go. Also, look up the KGAF site for plenty more fun and games. Several friends of mine will be there as well: Anita the Roy and Rimi the B. Chatterjee are both doing workshops, as am the I with Sarnath the Banerjee. Will link everything up in a bit.
Do you hear it, Mr. Anderson?
First of all, thanks everyone who came to the Delhi launch, and I hope you had a good time; I certainly did.
Calcutta launch details:

I’m also going to the Kala Ghoda Festival between Feb 5 and 10 for a couple of panels, a workshop and a launch on the 5th at 830 pm. Will post details closer to the day.
