Yarrr! Shimmer has a special treasure for you this fine day. In 2007, Dred Pirate John Joseph Adams, of the MS Fantasy and Science Fiction, commandeered the MS Shimmer for one special issue: the Pirate issue, released November 2007. In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a holiday dear to our hearts, we’re […]

And lo! I have returned to NYC and yet I have not slain any of the tourists who insist on stopping at the top of the stairs. The cats are very needy because Rob has been working long hours at the winery. He got home around 8:30 tonight and smelled like grape juice. The grapes

I’m sitting at the very civilized PDX airport, waiting for my flight. ((Actually, the security is some of the most ridiculous in terms of number and length of lines, but once you’re past that there’s free wi-fi and outlets galore.)) The trip to Portland has made me a little melancholy, wishing we still lived here.

One of the things I’m loving about the new Nebula Awards site is that the editor, David de Beer, is bringing in guest bloggers on a variety of topics. Check out this basic introduction to Aztec mythology by SF writer Aliette de Bodard. ((Hm… Maybe I need to add a “de” to my name too.

I just realized it last night. That I don’t actually have to meet any deadlines right now or do anything except sleep in and hang out with friends. I think this is what a vacation is, right? Yesterday -e- and I went out to Sauvie’s Island, picked blueberries, ate a peach straight from the tree,

I just finished a short story which I’d love having a reader or two look over before I send it out. It is 4800 words of science-fiction. It’s in a password protected post, but it’s a new password. Drop me a line and I’ll tell ya. I was never one of those girls who fell

SF writer, Rick Novy, pointed out that Ralan is having a fundraiser and has only raised 14% of his goal, half-way through the drive. Come on folks, we can do better than that. We all use Ralan.com because he has pretty much every market listed. Rick suggests: 1) Make a 10 euro donation (the paypal

I took Sean Markey and Beth Wodzinski over to Powell’s before their flight out yesterday. I love Powell’s, City of Books. It’s one of the major draws to Portland — not just that we’ve got a giant bookstore, but that we’ve got the sort of literate culture that requires the giant store. In the science-fiction

It’s too late and complicated to explain why my hosts’ home has that moniker. Meanwhile, the workshop is over. It was good to see old friends and make new ones. I’m exhausted and it will take awhile for me to finish processing the weekend. At the moment, I am headed for slumber.
