  • If you’ve been considering submitting a programming proposal for Azkatraz, now’s the time to do it.  The deadline was extended to Feburary 9.
  • Michael Ward: A Look at C.S. Lewis’s Poetry
  • A book discussion of some of Lewis’s Narnia books has begun at Leaky.
  • Speaking of Leaky, if you’re the social networking type, they’ve begun a large-scale, Facebook-type endeavor called “MyLeaky,” where you can sign up, become friends with other Harry Potter fans, join groups, keep tabs on events, etc.  If you do join, find me under username travisprinzi.
  • I’ve been planning a post on Bunyan for some time now.  John Granger recently posted some interesting thoughts on mirror imagery from his classic work.
  • Sorry I missed a January giveaway.  Giveaways will return in February.
  • Stay tuned for news on my forthcoming essay collection, Hog’s Head Conversations from Zossima Press.  I’m putting in hours of editing work right now.  I’ll keep you posted on progress, release date, etc.

Several items of interest:

  • Autographed Copies of Harry Potter & Imagination: I’ve been getting this question a lot: “How do I get a signed copy?”  It’s easy!  Pre-order the book from Zossima.com.  Zossima and I have worked out a way to get my signature on copies of books ordered from Zossima’s website.  So go ahead and get your copy!  We’re hoping for sometime in the first two weeks of December for a release date, as long as we don’t hit anymore snags along the way.
  • Speaking of pre-orders, there are currently 4 books available for pre-order at Zossima.com.  I recommend them all, but I want to draw special attention to James Thomas’s Repotting Harry Potter, which I’ve mentioned several times here.  You’re going to love it.
  • The new Hogwarts Radio podcast asked me to join their discussion on the new Half-Blood Prince trailer.  It’ll be available later today, and I’ll update then with a link.
  • Special thanks to Greg and Penny for their very kind words and plug for my book in Episode #93.  Episode #93 is well worth your time, and I wrote an entire chapter on this issue – feminist readings of Harry Potter - in my book.
  • Speaking of trailer reactions and HP Progs, Penny joined Mugglecast for their reaction to the new trailer – listen to Mugglecast episode #163 here!

A few items of interest:

Journey to the Sea’s most recent issue came out last week, and there’s an article there with a name on it you’ll recognize.

Zossima.com has two free audio files on C.S. Lewis available for download. These lectures comprise two chapters of C.S. Lewis: Views from Wake Forest, a new essay collection on C.S. Lewis that is getting great reviews.

If you haven’t purchased John Granger’s The Deathly Hallows Lectures yet, you might be enticed to do so by reading the introduction to the book, now available for free download at Zossima.com (see the sidebar on the main page).
