I have arrived safely home, with my luggage and the contents of my luggage intact. And only twenty-four hours after I’d planned to get here. The cats are frantic with loneliness and Marlowe is doing a great deal of chasing invisible demons to prove his affection for me. Rob is still away at IPNC so […]

Lest you feel bad for me and my delayed flight yesterday, allow me to show you one of the views from my bedroom window at the lake cottage. The bedroom I was in had windows on three sides, all of which looked out on the lake. To say that it was relaxing doesn’t take into

I’m at the airport in Grand Rapids and my flight is delayed by an hour and a half. This means that I’ll miss my connection in Minneapolis and there’s not another flight that will get me home tonight. Or rather, there is but it’s over-sold by seven people so they can’t book me on it.

Last night I went out to dinner with T– from Brilliance to this amazing restaurant in Muskegon called Mia and Grace. It’s a very small dining room that features organic, farm-to-table cooking, and pretty much everything made on site. The food was nicely balanced and interesting without being “interesting” if you know what I mean.

Oh, I forgot to tell you about my travel adventures actually getting here, besides the whole lunch with Dave aspect, which was just fun. I had a red eye out of Portland at 12:50 AM. One of the benefits to all the ridiculous travel I’ve been doing lately is that I’m now a Gold Medallion

On this trip to Grand Haven, I’m trying something new. I rented a bike instead of a car. I had talked about it when I was out here in the winter, because Brilliance is les than two miles away. It always felt silly to drive aside from the fact that it was cold and often

I’m sitting at the Portland Airport (yay free wifi!) waiting for a redeye to Michigan where I will record An Artificial Night, the third book in (Campbell nominee) Seanan McGuire’s October Daye Series. (She’s written a weeper, I’ll tell you that right now. When you get a copy, have kleenex handy.) Meanwhile, I’ve been thinking
At the airport and off to Michigan again Read More »
Today’s travel was surprisingly pleasant, considering that it started at 4:30am. Rob got up to drive me to the airport which he claimed was no big deal because it allowed him to get an early start at the winery. I zipped through security and then ran into some puppeteer friends who were on their way

I’m heading off to NYC and then up to Boston for Readercon. Looking at my calendar between now and September it looks like the longest stretch of time that I’m home is twelve days. So tonight, even though I had stuff to do, Rob and I went on a date. We went up to Ohana

I think I have recovered enough from traveling to catch you up on the last couple of days. Saturday I arrived in Seattle about a half hour before the Locus Awards banquet was due to start. I’d changed clothes on the train and was wearing an seasonally inappropriate Hawaiian print sundress and cute strappy heels.

15:25 At the airport to go home to Portland. I will be home for less than 8 hours then go to Seattle for the Locus awards. # 15:57 Man, JFK is brutally hot and smells like the subway. That, at least, has working a/c. # 16:54 Is anyone going from Portland to Seattle tomorrow? I

Why did I think that two weeks would be enough time to be here? Last night, after I returned from Philadelphia, I went to Henson Alternative: Stuffed and Unstrung with Jodi, Emily and Delia. It was loads of fun and some pretty impressive improv. With Muppets. Then this morning, I went uptown to meet with

I spent yesterday evening and part of today in Philadelphia, meeting with Stephen Segal to wrap up the layout on Weird Tales. This issue is a transition between his art direction and mine to make things smoother. I only have one more large thing to layout and then I think it’s off to the races
It is hot. HOT. I do not approve. Plus layout with melting brain. Read More »
I’ve safely arrived in Brooklyn to stay with my friends Jodi and Sam. The trip was surprisingly uneventful and I actually managed to sleep a little. This morning I woke up to the sound of “Bleaaaah.” I thought that I was probably dreaming, because no one actually makes that sound outside of films involving fraternities.

I’m at the Portland airport (yay, free wi-fi!) waiting for my flight to New York. Yes, it’s another redeye. I don’t love them but at least it feels like I’m wasting less time in transit since I spend a good portion of it asleep. I’ll be out there until the 25th and am contemplating having
