Rob finally had his physical while I was away. In fact, that’s why he didn’t go with me to the birthday retreat, because the only date he could get was smack in the middle of it. While I was in Chattanooga, I told one of my cousins, who’s a surgeon, about the physical. He looked

In a moment of total geekiness, I stopped in the bookstore to see where I’d land on the shelf. Between Stephen King and Nancy Kress. That does not suck.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch… The show I’m working on is in previews and I’m busily doing things like making foam tubes to turn a table into a wrestling ring– that’s hard to explain. I think it makes sense in the context of the show. Maybe… The really interesting bit is that I’ve been making

February has a cluster of births for my family. I’d planned to be home for Mom’s birthday, in addition to Grandma’s and mine, but had to shift my schedule around for the show. However, I’d remind you about how completely awesome my mother is. She’s not just supportive of my brother and me, she’s also

I’ll start with the important stuff. Shades of Milk and Honey, my Jane Austen with magic novel, has sold to Liz Gorinsky at Tor in a two-book deal. My fabulous agent, Jennifer Jackson, and I have been sitting on this news for a little over a week while we worked out details. Hardest thing ever.

I have safely arrived in NYC and had surprisingly good transit karma. The bus pulled up just as I walked out from baggage claim. I am going to stop by the apartment long enough to drop off my bag, swap to the tiny computer and kiss Rob, before running off to the theater. My shopping

This is a reading of my short story “Nails in My Feet” from the Borderlands reading. Many thanks to Pip R. Lagenta for recording it. And for posting it yesterday as a birthday present.
Well, my guests have all gone to bed and I’m mostly packed. I decided to catch an early flight back to New York because there are some things going on with the show that need attention and it’ll be less stressful to just fly back and deal with it myself. I have to tell you

The birthday celebrations have been going on all week of course, but yesterday was pretty spectacular. In the morning Steven Gould — whose birthday it actually was — had released the theme ingredient for the Iron Chef Battle we had planned. [1. Originally we were going to do it today, but decided to move it

I was a little distracted today but still managed to wrap up a story and edit another. At one point, to keep from checking my email every two minutes, I headed into the kitchen to start cooking and made some Deep, Dark Chocolate cookies. Gluten free, I’ll have you note. We all trouped out to
