... anything on this blog, I'm telling you. The Nebula Final Ballot is out, and I'm on it for Brasyl, which is pretty damn exciting. Congratulations to all. You know, I think I might just be able to go...

Yay! Good luck.

(I was pulling for you at the Hugos, so maybe this is your moment.)

Conmgratulations. Very well deserved. But it's a poisoned chalice. You never get to snark about the Nebula list again!

Congratulations!

Best of luck in the final stage. Of course, it's a great book, so hopefully the luck is redundant.

I wish I knew... Orion handle world rights on Brasyl, so it could have come through them without me necessarily knowing. </i>River,</i>, I'm note sure it's sold in Italy.

Just started Brasyl and really enjoying it so far. I noticed the playlist at the end, so put together a Spotify version:

A few tracks are missing but most are there!

Hi- LOVED River of Gods and just starting Brasyl. On p45 of the hardcover there's a description of Nobrega squeezing limes on what is assumed to be coca leaves. While people may possibly have done that in olde Brazil I think it's an error. When people talk about coca leaves and lime, they mean the ashy alkaline mineral, not the citrus fruit. I know this from personal experience in Bolivia. Fruit juice doesn't activate the coca, the alkaline mineral does. A simple Google search will confirm this. Looking forward to the rest of the book but it reads false now. If you publish the next edition, please do your readers a service and fix this. Thanks & keep up the fine writing.
