Due to recent Digestive Incidents, Boomer the Geriatric Cat got to visit with Uncle Vet again today. They all commented on how long it’s been since they’ve seen him, which is a very good thing (for a while we were monthly visitors). Â We are pleased to say that he’s put on some weight, clocking […]

This morning I…. made COFFEE!  No, seriously. I know some of you think I can’t function without coffee and normally you’d be right, but we were in dire straits here at Chateau Felidae. When I first realized, just after Thanksgiving, that I was coming down with something nasty, I dumped the caffeine.  My go-to

For several years, I ran #WillWriteToFeedOthers, wherein I wrote a story in November,

Under external prodding, I have finally updated my bio. Huh. That’s not too shabby, actually. Laura Anne Gilman’s work has been hailed as “a true American myth being found†by NPR, and praised for her “deft plotting and first-class characters†by Publishers Weekly. She has won the Endeavor Award for THE COLD EYE, and been

So tonight around 10 pm I’m finishing up at a work event (which kept me from being at OryCon this weekend) and I finally have a chance to check my email. I may have said “HOLY SHIT!” loud enough for my co-workers to be all “what? what happened?” I won the Endeavor Award for THE

Since I got scolded for not shilling myself enough (ugh), I’m gonna do this all-promo post fast, and you can do with it as you will, after, ok? 1. If you’re not signed up for the Gilman Quarterly yet, you aren’t going to have a chance to win one of three limited edition West Winds’

Boom. Done. I love having the ballot box just down the street. A nice walk, some fresh air, and my civic duty is done. And no, I don’t miss the “community-building” elements of single-day polling place voting at all. It was stressful and occasionally inconvenient, and they weren’t even offering cookies any more. And drop-off

I’ve just taken on some new obligations (because I didn’t have enough already?) that requires me to drive into Seattle several times a week. Making the best of the situation, I decided to use that driving time, and pulled out the old language CDs to see if I could bring my Italian back up from
