Just got back from Con-Volution, and wanted to round up some of the reviews and podcasts about  Her Eternal Moonlight:

I hope to post more in a bit (and get back to my Civic Diary, which went a few places I didn’t expect).  Just got some Con Recovery to do!

Her Eternal Moonlight Is Here!

“Her Eternal Moonlight,” the look at female fans of Sailor Moon that my co-author Bonnie have been working on for 16 months is out. Available in both ebook and physical format! You’ve been hearing about it – now it’s done and it’s something I’m proud of!  Seriously, take a look at this cover by the amazing Jennifer Cox.

sm-hem-full

Yes, it’s finished! After interviews, writing, rewriting, editing, and more this “psychological travelogue” of how Sailor Moon affected her female fans in North America is finished. So now it’s time to let the world know (and by the way, you can help with that, start sharing the links)

This was a pretty amazing experience; interviewing people, understanding their stories, looking for patterns, weaving it into a whole. It was also a humbling one as the Sailor Moon media phenomena changed lives – and the whole 90’s DiC dub was far more life-altering than I’d expected. Doing a book on how a TV show changed others changed me, to be frank.

So it’s done. Bonnie and I will be looking to speak on it at various events, depending on our schedules – and we’ve already got an idea for another pop culture impact book. We just won’t start that one until 2017 because we’ve got this one, and I kinda need a rest . . .

Bacon Peanuts – Vegan

I’ve missed posting my recipes, and I want to get back to my blogging, so behold – my latest creation.  A vegan snack dish consisting of peanuts that taste like bacon.  Seriously, it’s a bit creepy how good it tastes.

Theres little in the way of additives or added sweetener, so you’ve got a heck of a healthy snack here.  That tastes like bacon.

  • 2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts (you can use unroasted peanuts, but may taste different)
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp liquid smoke.

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Miss the soy sauce, syrup, and liquid smoke together on a bowl.
  3. Pour peanuts into bowl with sauce mixture. Stir until thoroughly coated.
  4. Pour coated peanuts and any remaining mixture into a 9×9 glass casserole dish.
  5. Place in oven. Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
  6. Remove when the liquid has turned sticky. Do not cook until completely dry.
  7. Set aside to cool, stirring every few minutes until peanuts stop sticking.
  8. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator. Should keep 3-7 days. (not sure yet)
