When the Dublin WorldCon was announced, I was determined that if I was going to haul there from Seattle, I was by god going to go over for more than four days spent in a convention center. Which is why I’ll be heading out a few days early with friends, and spending time in a […]

I’d very much like to pretend that it’s still June, but the fireworks going off in my neighborhood last night suggest that nope, we’re into July. After a few false starts and emotional walk-throughs, I’ve sent off the latest “Mom Files” essay to beta-readers, this one on the storytelling brain, liminal spaces, and filling in
I am in denial that it’s July already…. Read More »
Back in 2004, my very first original novel, Staying Dead, came out from the then-brand-new imprint Luna at Harlequin. I was among the first of their authors – and one of their last. My final book for them came out only a little while before Harlequin — including all of its backlist — was sold

Well, that was special. I just saw someone on Facebook, who probably thinks of themselves as a perfectly decent and good Christian, dismiss all of Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, among others, as ‘just tribal laws.’ Honey, it’s ALL just ‘tribal laws.’ You’re just prioritizing your tribe over everyone else’s, and the name for that ain’t

How the hell is it June already? Anyone? You don’t know either? Okay, moving on. As usual when I do the East Coast Turnaround, I came down with sinus gunk ™ a few days after.  So that’s been my life for the past few days, moving through a crud-haze and trying not to cough up

spoiler: The Book Pushers liked it! “… Gilman’s writing was in turns lush and harsh, spare and bountiful almost mirroring the contrast between East and West, acceptance and rejection, celebration and despair. This was a story which took my imagination on a trip while also leaving me with things to ponder and mull over.

While I’m sad that RED WATERS RISING didn’t make the final ballot for fantasy novel, my joy in TUBS, as we affectionately call it, making the final ballot for “best anthology” Locus Award has me doing a happy writer chair-dance. This wasn’t a traditional anthology – our editors didn’t ‘acquire’ us, no publisher made any
