Miserable weather on the way down made me miss my 4pm panel, and the long drive with relevant weather/traffic forced me to leave early and miss my Sunday afternoon panel, but in-between Capclave was great fun. Highlights – meeting many new people, some of whom I knew previously via Twitter/Tumbler, and some I didn’t  (waves […]

In the usual launch-day searching of Google for any mention of my name, I came across this review of DRAGON VIRUS, from 2011.  How did I miss this, back then? One part Planet of the Apes and one part X-men, Laura Anne Gilman’s Dragon Virus is exciting but bleak, a provocative view of a future built on genetic engineering. In

Off this morning to Capclave, a little, much-beloved convention in Virginia that’s not going to be so little this year since the GoH is some guy named George R.R. Martin… Hopefully, there will be some love left over for the rest of us. Â :-) If you’re going to be there, they have me well-scheduled
I have the post-book-launch, post-excitement-of-the-AMA, post-Supernatural-premiere emotional drop. Or is it a droop? For those who missed it yesterday: the new Gin & Tonic book is out! we have a new book giveaway! (both print and digital) my possibly spoilery, slightly flailing commentaries on last night’s Supernatural and Person of Interest (via Tumblr) the aftermath of

So today’s excerpt will be clearly identified. Don’t get used to it. :-D Â The dogs were gossiping. The grey tabby paused, halfway down the fire

Every Tuesday I take a small chunk of something I’m working on – fantasy, mystery, mainstream, whatever… and post it.  No titles, no other info, utterly random. Y’all can give feedback or not, as you wish.  Or even try to guess what it’s from, if you’re so inclined.  There may or may not be a

This weekend past was the Baltimore Book Festival, where SFWA had their usual pavilion (okay, a large tent), with a bookstore, author signings, and SRO panels.  Seriously, we were packed all day every day, and thanks to everyone who came out and added to really good discussions! (and thanks to the weather, which was perfect) I

Aaaaaaand All Things Urban Fantasy liked SOUL OF FIRE as much as they did HEART OF BRIAR! “SOUL OF FIRE takes the foundation from book one and cracks GIlman’s world wide open….As always in Gilman’s fantasy, every war has consequences and rarely is there a win without sacrifice. Human, super, and preter societies are colliding,
