Scenes from a book-tour, part sqrt(-1): the SPIDER DUCK, at Austin's magnificent Toy Joy.

Spider Duck, Toy Joy, Austin, TX, USA

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I can’t quite figure out how to finish this theme song:

♫ Spider-duck, spider-duck, ____s whatever a spider ____s… ♫

  I’m not sure either, but I bet it rhymes with spider-duck.

A wonderful gift for somebody who suffers from the DTs.

I’d be just as happy if it went the other way, a spider headed duck.
