Companion Piece, the new ‘Chicks Dig’ essay collection from Mad Norwegian Press, has just announced its official Table of Contents. Edited by a wonderful assortment of Lizes (L.M. Myles of the Verity! Podcast, AKA Scottish Liz, and Liz Barr of No Award, chair of Continuum 11), this book is packed full of essays about Doctor Who companions, and the women who are fascinated by them.)
I’m in the book, talking about Sara Kingdom! And Tehani is in it, talking about Tegan! And I am so excited to read all the essays, I can’t even tell you. Mags L Halliday writes here about the personal side of her own essay about Barbara and Ian.
L.M. Myles, meanwhile, wrote a great ‘My Two Cents’ piece in response to recent Verity! episode, Companions Who Never Were. Because yes, Verity!’s theme for this year is Doctor Who companions too. Liz’s piece is called The Companions Who Should’ve Been.
Mark Webb wrote a fantastic review of my novel-in-progress (how cool/weird is it to get reviews during the writing of a book? Headspin) Musketeer Space, which I really appreciate. Hopefully it helps new readers find the story.
Finally, since this is a super personal Friday Links this week, a few tabs I didn’t want to keep open any more, but want to keep handy for my own reference:
The CWA scones recipe
Tri Musketera, a Russian take on The Three Musketeers!
John Finnemore on the writing of the Cabin Pressure finale (no one is allowed to read this without actually listening to the Cabin Pressure finale, which is amazing)
And because we are a Phineas and Ferb household right now:
