I’m up at Apex with a nonfiction essay.

You’re Not Supposed to Write That: Taboos in Speculative Fiction.

I haven’t blogged much lately because I’m busy producing new work. It’s a good thing.

I don't know if it is just me or what but I get a big red sign that says "ATTACK SITE! this site may damage your computer!" Er, argh...?

[desperance]

Yup this; me too.

Google's link is here - it seems to say "We can find nothing wrong with this site!" and yet blocks it anyway. Vylar, you might want to pass this on to the nice Apex folks...?

BTW, the Google page may have changed -- looks like it was updated sometime today -- now it says: Of the 31 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 2 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2012-12-05, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2012-12-05.

Apex tells me they discovered the malware just yesterday, the 5th, so maybe they can eradicate it quickly.
