Sorry about the lack of posts yesterday; I was beginning my vacation by running around shopping most of the day. I imagine blogging will be slower than usual this week, but I will try to do some big round-ups every couple of days.

Speaking of which, let's get started with some interviews:

• The Business Standard (of India) interviews teenage SF authors Suresh & Jyoti Guptara, about their novel Conspiracy of Calaspia.
• Sci Fi Wire talked to Naomi Novik about the fourth book in the "Temeraire" series -- currently titled A Brazen Armament, though that will be changed before publication, so don't bother writing it down -- which will take Temeraire and Will to Africa. (By the way, you can still get the first three books in the spiffy SFBC omnibus edition.)
• Pat's Fantasy Hotlist interviews Peter Watts, author of Blindsight.
• Irene Gallo has a quick interview with artist Eric Fortune, and an accompanying gallery of his work. 
• The Agony Column interviews Anne & Todd McCaffrey about their recent novel Dragonsblood.
• Adventures in SciFi Publishing's second special edition podcast features a round-table discussion among David Farland, Brandon Sanderson, and L.E. Modesitt, Jr.
