Quote

"I think of it as a sort of Questynge Beste: it hath a head like literary fiction, feet like a graphic novel, a body like somebody's diary and a tail like a text message, and maketh a noise like a cafeteria full of twelve- to eighteen-year-olds."

Story notes

A couple of kindle freebie stories:

"Of Swine and Roses"
by Ilona Andrews

A cute story about a girl, a pig, and a literal pig.
(I had no idea Ilona Andrews was a husband and wife team.)

"Martian Invaders Meet Mom"
by Rebecca and Alan Lickiss

Another husband and wife team, this one clearly labeled, with a silly story about aliens and raising children, and how alike these things are.
