		<title>The Office of Shadow Bonus Features: Alpaurle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a snippet from one of the many, many dialogues of Alpaurle, arguably the greatest thaumatist of the Rauane Envendun-e (the Age of Purest Silver, which is to say, a really long time ago). There is no argument, however, that he is the most influential. His Conversations with the Hight Priest of Ulet have little [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Office of Shadow Bonus Features: Lord Gray</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here we have another &#8220;DVD Extra&#8221; from the new novel, The Office of Shadow, this time concerning Lord Gray. This epigram is from Chapter Thirty-Two, taken from Lord Grays Recollections:
Lord Valen once asked me how I defined true friendship. I told him that a true friend is one who forgives any indiscretion. I thought it [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Office of Shadow Bonus Features: Stil Eret&#8217;s Travels at Home and Abroad</title>

		<title>New DCU Blog, with RUN! Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a new DCU blog called The Source, run by the very charming Alex Segura that should be worth looking at for DC fans. It&#8217;s nice to see that my dark overlords at DC are dipping a toe into this whole &#8220;Internet&#8221; thing.
One of their first posts contains preview pages of RUN!, or I should [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miscellany</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Item: to all of those reading who might have emailed me or phoned in the past month or so (including close family members, old friends, and even a few business acquaintances): I am not ignoring you. Quite the contrary, I lie awake nights thinking what scum I am for not having gotten back to you. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pointless Things My Dad Taught Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad is an interesting guy. I could go on for hours about what a decent human being he is, how he always took care of me and my brother when we were growing up, or how he taught me virtues like responsibility and honesty.
But I&#8217;m not going to talk about those things, because although [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Like Obituaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I find a newspaper lying around at a coffee shop or a doctor&#8217;s office, I don&#8217;t go for the sports, or the front page, or the comics. I like obituaries.
Maybe &#8220;like&#8221; isn&#8217;t the right word. I&#8217;m engrossed by obituaries. Obituaries are one of the few places in life where we&#8217;re forced to confront death [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Around the Bend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid, as now, I had an extremely active imagination. One of the games I used to play frequently was this: when in the car, going over a hill or around the corner, I would imagine that on the other side there would be an ocean. There would be a sparkling seashore [...]]]></description>
