In praise of geek girls

Here's a story for you: Geek girl Naomi Novik writes trilogy of historical fantasy novels about dragons; sells movie rights to Peter Jackson; is made sort of happy.

And I do so love a story with a happy ending. For bonus points, it scores a shout-out from a TDAOC favorite:

British fantasy fiction writer China Miéville added: "The fantasy genre is doing very well at the moment and Jackson is a very important figure in that. He'll give any adaptation of the books a real epic sweep. He's a real fantasy geek and has an obvious passion for the genre. Whatever he does with it will be extremely high profile."

Hey, to put it crudely, if I wrote something, I'd be pretty happy if Peter Jackson wiped himself with it.

Cheers for her!
