I spent most of today running errands, although I did take time out to have lunch with Ken Scholes. Such a sweetheart. Today was really gorgeous, so I did all of my errands via bike. Lovely day. We also recorded the last of the pickup lines for Subterranean Press. I’m uploading the audio book now, […]
Prime Codex is for sale! And you have multiple reasons to want a copy. I’ve sort of kept mum about one of them, I realize. You already know that my story, “Rampion” appears in the anthology. But there’s this other thing I forgot to mention. After I sold them “Rampion,” I had one of those

So, Iceland is back on the table again. Potentially, Rob would be going there on May 1, I would be moving to NYC on the 7th, arriving about the 17th, partially unpacking and then joining him in Iceland for six months. Or not. It’s also possible that we won’t go to Iceland at all. Or

If you are filling out your Hugo nomination form at the last minute, here’s a reminder that Shimmer is eligible for a semipro magazine nomination. I am eligible for a Campbell, but I’m in my first year of eligibility, so I’d like to put a plug in for a few folks who are in their

For some reason, writers can’t seem to get together without calling it a con. I guess so we can write it off. Tonight, Ken Scholes invited a slew of writers down to the Barley Mill Pub to meet Aimee Amodio, who is every bit as funny and delightful as Ken promised. So nice when a
I’d seen this floating around, but it hadn’t tempted me because Ken Scholes had already given my super-hero name in his story “Action Team-Ups Number Thirty Seven.” (Which you can listen to here.) But then a friend sent this quiz to me, and what’s a girl to do? I’m just hoping it’s not truly some
I biked down to Hawthorne to have lunch with Jay Lake, so that he could sign the limited edition chapbooks of his story Christmas Season. The wind was pretty ferocious and it was like biking uphill the whole way there, which was frustrating, since that’s the downhill direction. By the time I got home, two

More than survived, really. I had a great time, although I was a little stressed juggling some transit issues. Rob and I had made the decision before going to Iceland, that we would sell the car and try being carless when we came back. What this weekend has taught me is that carless is fine
Well. I got home around 1:30 am. My flight was delayed out of Austin and I just barely caught the connecting flight. Alas, my luggage did not. The wait for the flight to take off would have been worse had I not had a lovely conversation with Sally Harding. The weekend is a complete blur,

Ken Scholes, Jen West and I arrived at the hotel safely, thanks to Jen’s skillful navigation. In the lobby, we immediately met Alethea Kontis, Mr. Rick Fisher, Edmund Schubert and Michael Kabongo. After checking in and freshening up, we went over to the main hotel (we’re staying in the overflow hotel) and seemingly met the

I had to get up at 4:30 this morning to catch the plane to Austin for World Fantasy. This was absolutely no problem since my body still thinks its in Reyk– well, actually, I guess it has no idea where it is. I’m on random time. I’m sitting in the lounge with Ken Scholes and
